A NEUROLOGIST
Neurologists can work in hospitals or in private clinics. Their average week is approximately fourty hours. This career would contain consistent hours if you open up a private practice or work in researching, but if you don’t mind working longer hours (fifty or more), you may find a hospital environment more to your liking. In a hospital setting, neurologists treat a variety of urgent cases. The day of a neurologist is fast-paced. It can also be very stressful. It’s not easy to see patients who are frightened, and many of them are. Some days a neurologist has to give bad news to someone. No matter how well you may break that kind of news, patients will be upset, so compassion, patience, and understanding are characteristics a neurologist must demonstrate.
what's it like ?
Neurologists are doctors who diagnose and treat problems with the brain and nervous system. They don't do surgery. A neurologist has at least a university degree and 4 years of medical school plus 3 years of special training in neurology.
PROS and CONS:
education
To have a career that is so intensely prepared for and requires an extreme amount of education, the costs for it are definitely not cheap. Applying for scholarships is probably ideal for students who can maintain A grade averages. For me, with my average I'd be able to apply for low or mid-level scholarships. As for the rest of tuition payments, OSAP would aid me slightly (about eight-thousand dollars) but it would mostly be self-funded. My ideal universities would either be University of Toronto or Simon Fraser University and my undergraduate degree would be in Science.
budget
The closest any school would be to me would require me to live at home, and the furthest would have to involve renting an apartment out of province, which would be easily affordable either way. Since I would be living at home, I would not have to worry about an array of costs. But as time carries on, I would most likely receive a part-time job in order to pay for a cellphone bill and some toiletries and clothing. The most I would spend within a month would be around ninety to two-hundred dollars.
