I am 24 and want to start my education to become an anesthesiologist. What is the best route to take?

Question

I recently got out of the military and I want to help people. I have a baby on the way and I want to give him what I never had. I have the GI Bill but it only covers my bachelors. Are there any good grants or loans to help a soon to be father achieve his education to become an anesthesiologist? I am not in this for the money, granted it is a perk but I just like to help people.

I never said the money isn't nice but I can make money at anything. Anesthesiologists do help people a lot. Just because they don't cut them open doesn't mean they don't have a big part in the surgery or delivery.

Answer 1

Mainly in it just to help people and not for the money and you choose anesthesiology? Ok. Let's just say that's not exactly convincing.

To be a doctor, you'll need your bachelors to go on to med school. Your major doesn't matter too much. Just take the prereq courses in order to qualify.

I wouldn't worry about money too much. Especially as an anesthesiologist, you'll make so much, student loans won't be a problem. They make $200K on the low end. Normal is about $300K/yr.
