There are a myriad of career opportunities for each person. In this text, I will analyse the profession of being a doctor.
A doctor is a person that devotes their life to helping patients through research and clinical work.
Firstly, doctors are a really heterogeneous group of professionals. This is due to Medicine being a massive field with lots of opportunities to explore and master. Thus, we can consider the representative example of a surgeon. According to Dr. Anton Scheepers , a surgeon’s day starts early in the morning with the consulting of patients. It is necessary for a doctor to understand what is going on with their patient and only turn to medicine prescriptions or surgery when strictly necessary.

On the one hand, the first and more important advantage is the opportunity to change the world and to actually help people every day.

However, and hopefully, the majority of people who pursue studies in Medicine do so because they truly love the field. These are the ones who are willing to devote their lives to taking care of the rest of the world. Ultimately, this path is the right one and needs not a unique reason, but a personal one for every doctor. The common element is an initial spark, interest that evolves throughout time into a genuine desire to become a doctor. For instance, this happens by being inspired by a loved one or by becoming conscious of the need for help there is in the actual world.
So far, I have talked about what it means to be a doctor, how to become a good professional, and ultimately identify if it is the right choice for an aspiring student. For me, even though the path is tough and may seem never-ending, becoming a doctor is the only way I know to do what I love and always get something bigger in
