RESEARCH – WHAT I LEARNED Researching how to become a Neurologist was pretty simple. I looked at a couple sites until I found one that actually had all the information I needed. Finding a car and a place to live were pretty simple as well because I knew what kind of car I wanted to drive and where I wanted to live and I knew I had the money to live almost anywhere and the car I wanted was not that expensive.

MY CAR – 2002 Pontiac Firebird - $28,000
