Answers:
Have you considered becoming a nurse anesthestist!? (sp!?!?) They are required to complete nursing school, usually a BSN then go to graduate school and study the advanced field of anesthesiology!. The pay is very good, one of the highest paying in the medical field and the responsibility is great!. The nurse anesthestist I know makes about $170,000 a year and writes his own schedule (around surgeries) and is the one in charge of all airway in the operating room!. He answers to an anesthesiologist (MD), but has the liberty to run the OR as he pleases and was trained!. Very liberating field!.

PS, I'd think that any field you chose wouldn't be "boring" along the way!. To be an anesthesiologist (MD) you get your bachelors degree in anything, usually science related (biology, chemistry) then apply to medical school (4 years)!. Once you finish med school, you apply to a number of teaching hospitals for residency!. You go where you get accepted!. Spend 3 years in residency (sometimes 4) then 2 years as an anesthesiology fellow (working mainly in anesthesiology)!. If you want to become on staff full time, you apply for a staff position and are called an attending physician!. It is a long haul!.

If interested, I'd go the bachelor of science in nursing, get excellent grades, then start working as a nurse!. (you have your bachelor's degree - first step of MD process)!. Get your masters in anesthesiology - and start working (usually a three year program but you can work in the field as a nurse while you are in grad school)!. then, if you want to go the route of MD, go to med school after that, but you can short cut your way by doing the nurse anesthesia route and if you don't like it, you are still a nurse and can switch and work in any field!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Very boring, typically described akin to being an airline pilot!.!.!.!.!.many days of boredom with every now and then a few hours of sheer terror!. Also many anesthesiologists are frustrated surgeons, thinking they know everything about surgery but humiliated when the surgeon barks at them about the patient squirming on the OR table when supposed to be asleep!. Not a bad job though, punch in and punch out like a factory worker with decent pay, only no self esteem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're going into it for the money, keep looking!.

Those of us who ACTUALLY PRACTICE the specialty find it quite interesting!. Yes, it's demanding and stressful, but it can also be a lot of fun!.

I love my job, and think it was well worth the years spent training for it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The median salary is quite high!. Does $300,000 a year sound good to you!? Yes, it's quite demanding and the screening process is rigorous!. If you're not at the top of your class in medical school, it's difficult to get a position!. Working hours can be 60+ a week!. Insurance is extremely expensive!. There's nothing worse than being sued for malpractice!.
