Duties and Responsibilities:A cardiologist is a doctor of the heart, arteries and veins. Cardiology is considered a specialty within the broader category of internal medicine, and you can be trained in such subspecialties as nuclear cardiology, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology and echocardiography. You'll diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases. You'll also promote heart health and provide rehabilitation to those who've undergone surgery or treatment for heart ailments.

Salary: $373,500-$532,000

Education: Aspiring cardiologists need to obtain their bachelor's degree and then enroll in a medical school program. After graduating from medical school, they complete several years of internal medicine and cardiology training in a residency program.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I think I would not like to be a cardiologist because it doesn’t really interest me even though it is a great career and pays a good amount of money. Another reason would be that I already have a career in mind.
