Well then, you’ll need to learn how to research a topic. The internet is a great resource for finding all kinds of info, including professions and the training required for them.

Everything but the first two or three will require an M.D. degree. That means four years of college [GPA of at least 3.5 and great MCAT scores], four years of med school [small percentage of applicants are accepted, no financial aid, grinding workload], then four or more years of internship/residency, depending on specialty, perhaps followed by a fellowship. You’ll be about 30 and deeply in debt by the time you’ve completed your National Board exams and the certification exams and get your license to practice. But if you really, really, really want it badly, you can do it!

It’s not really a “job” you’re looking for here, it’s following your passion. Otherwise, you won’t make it.
