Working at a private office may be peaceful because you may have your own private space. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: blue; font-family: 'Impact','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> 2. Working at a public clinic may be full clamor. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: 'Impact','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #339966; font-family: 'Haettenschweiler','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">C.

This is my chosen career because while working you're able to help and watch children grow up healthy, serve others while learning, and I will earn a good salary while doing something I will enjoy. <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #339966; font-family: 'Haettenschweiler','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">F.

Pediatricians must be able to provide needed health care for infants to adolescence. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: green; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">A. This job requires a person to be willing to learn new things as well as having a joy for helping children. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: green; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">B. Preparation for this career includes a bachelors degree in pre- med sciences, four years of a medical school, and three years at a residency program. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: green; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">C.

Imagine yourself 20 years from now and your family have just moved into a new neighborhood. You are searching for a doctor for your child and you figure that the hospital on the corner will do. As you enter the hospital and you hear a familiar name being called over the intercom and you cant quite remeem where you know that name from. You finally realize that I will be administering you child’s first exam. Yes, these are the familiar hands that will be taking care of your child for the most important years of his/her life.
