what does it take to be a neurosurgeon?

Question

I want to be a neurosurgeon. What does it take to be one. What schools do I need to go to? how many years of training? What degrees do I need? Do I need to go to college too because I was thinking of skipping college and going directly to a university in Germany.

Answer 1

You need a minimum of 10 years of college and 2 years of residency.

Answer 2

I just asked a surgeon how many years of schooling he had, and he said he didnt get his first job until he was 36 years old after all the schooling and residency.

And yes, you need to go to college.
