Cardiologist
Potential obstacles and ways to overcome them...
Being a Cardiologist requires a lot of school and I think that being in school for an additional years after high school could be a struggle. To keep on the right track and succeeding in becoming a Cardiologist I will have to allow myself breaks and set small goals but also remind myself of the bigger picture. With the many years of school also comes with financial problems. I will have to apply for scholarships and apply for student loans. Student loans will cause lots of debt when I come out of school but with a salary of a Cardiologist I am confident that I will be able to pay it off in a few years.
