Ophthalmologist 

Duties and Responsibilities: 

Ophthalmologist have some quite the same duties of an eye doctor. However, they can perform surgeries and treat eye diseases. They can also prescribe contact lenses and glasses to the patients that need it.   

Salary: 

The average salary of an ophthalmologist is $98.46 per hour. Though if you have experience of 1-5 years your annual salary ranges from $105,015 to $249,468.  

Education: 

To become an ophthalmologist you need a four year postgraduate training after obtaining a medical degree. You need a three year residency in ophthalmology with a one year internship. That is you need 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school.  

Demand of Profession: 

According to the BLS only a 14 percent increase of jobs will open for ophthalmologists on the next 10 years.  

     

Reflection: 

I think that besides a very long time of schooling to become an ophthalmologists it can be worth it if you want to be one for the eyes. But if I was to choose what I would want to do for the rest of my life I wouldn't like to be this. That is because being in an office is not for me and the surgeries aren't either.  

" The best way to predict your future is to create it" -Charles Ketterer 

                               

When you dream about doing something or becoming something it is floating around like a wish you are hoping for to come true. The only way you can make that wish come true is by making it a goal. Pursuing it to be accomplished and making a plan for it is the only way you can predict your future. Because if you say you want to become a doctor someday do not wait for that one day. Make that one day come to you by planning for it and setting goals to becoming a doctor. That dream is your future and if you achieve tui you just predicted your future because one day you were like "I want to be a doctor someday" and that someday came by the hard work and effort you put into becoming a doctor. So instead of waiting for the dream to come true make everyday plans one step coming closer and closer to that goal. Like Ian said the first step is the hardest but after each step it just gets easier and easier.
