Ophthalmologist

Duties and Responsibilities: Ophthalmologist are physicians who specialize in eye care. They prescribe both pharmecuticals and eye glass lenses. When needed they can perform  eye surgery. Most ophthalmologist have a private practice, a very little amount are hired by hospitals and clinics.

Salary: $90,000 - $150,000

Educational Requirements: Only physicians can study to become ophthalmologist. After completing medical school and an internship, ophthalmologist must complete a 3-5 year  residency in ophthalmology program. They then must pass an examination to become a certified ophthalmologist.

I would be interested in becoming an ophthalmologist because of the pay and the fact that it is probably easier for you to start your own business rather than getting hired.
