The job market: what would your ideal job be?

I have thought a lot about this issue, and I think that my ideal job would be surgeon. But not any surgeon, I want to be the best surgeon in Chile. In my opinion is the surgeon who has the patient’s life in his hands. Thus is the surgeon the one who really face death, and this gives the surgeon the chance to save people’s lives.

It is difficult for me to work in a team. It’s something I’ve always been troubled, but I know I must to improve it, because in my career I know I won’t be able to perform a surgery alone. I will need my team, like nurses, an anesthesiologist, and physician assistances, etc.

The reason why “surgeon” is my ideal job is because of many reasons, including the previously commented. One of them is the prestige the title of surgeon gives. There is also the money. It gives me the possibilities to fulfill my expectations of life (to travel, to have a nice house, modern car, a big family and very important is not to worry about how I’m going to pay for the school of my children). I know that it’s a very demanding job, but I’m very organized with my schedule and I think that I’m going to make compatible my ideal job with a “family life”.

Despite this is my ideal job, the career of medicine offers a lot of fields, in which physicians can explore their opportunities to inquire in diverse specialties in order to improve their abilities. Therefore I would like to try other areas besides surgery, like investigation, teaching or internal medicine.
