Question?????

Question

okay so i have a question!
im a freshman at high school
and in the future i have made up my mind to becoming a cardiac surgeon.
soo like all the college fees and all the money.
so at this age what should i do so i wont have any financial problems in the future.
and for the career im going towards, should i study here or abroad?

Answer 1

Get your grades up as high as you can and keep them there. Spend the next year looking for grants and scholarships as well as researching schools in the US for Pre-Med. If you want to study abroad, the best time is during internship.
You may want to look at the top cardiac surgeons in the US and see where they graduated and what path they followed. No need to re-invent, just follow someone's lead who has been successful.

Answer 2

I understand that the money looks really daunting to you, but try to think of it as an investment in your future. The good news is, that unlike if you had said that you were dying to be a librarian or a social worker, a cardiac surgeon is likely to have very high earnings and will clearly make the investment worthwhile. As others have suggested, look into the availability of scholarships and grants, and don't be afraid of carrying some loans. Don't under any circumstances compromise on the quality of your education to avoid incurring debt! I can't state this more strongly. Especially in professions like medicine and law, there is often a class system based upon where you got your degree. The best jobs almost always go to those who went to the best schools. Unless you want to spend your career abroad, or don't get admitted elsewhere, don't go to a medical school abroad as a way of saving money. It will make it that much harder for you from that point forward.

Answer 3

Depends on your grades. If you are a high honor roll student, you should be able to get into a very good college with a scholarship. If that won't work, you could always try for grants and / or loans. This will be your best option.
As far as where to study, do your research. There are a ton of great colleges that offer programs that will get you in the field you want.
Good luck, I hope things go well for you!!!

Answer 4

Wow, that's really ambitious of you.
I really think at this point in your life, the finances should not be your biggest concern. I can promise you that if you keep your grades high (which you'll have to do to get into a good college, which will lead you to a good med school, good residency, etc), you will get merit-based aid. On top of that, everyone applies for need-based aid from the government, and when you get to your senior year, there are loads of oppertunities to recieve at least some money from all sorts of scholarships. If you're still concerned, start saving up for college... have your parents open up an account that you can to. Really, though, just relax. You have a long way to go.

Answer 5

You will need a scholarship in order to stay out of financial problems. So that means work your butt off. Oh and if you can study a semester abroad I would say go for it. But do most of your training in the country you will be working in. So if you want to work in the US you need to study in the US.
