You need to go to a four year college and get a premed degree. Then apply to medical school, MD or DO. Go through medical school. Do your post grad work in a hospital. Then you need to apply to a good cardiac program for a residency in cardiology or thoracic surgery.

In the United States and Canada, a cardiac surgery residency typically comprises anywhere from six to nine years (or longer) of training to become a fully qualified surgeon. Cardiac surgery training may be combined with thoracic surgery and / or vascular surgery and called cardiovascular (CV) / cardiothoracic (CT) / cardiovascularthoracic (CVT) surgery. Cardiac surgeons may enter a cardiac surgery residency directly from medical school, or first complete a general surgery residency followed by a fellowship. Cardiac surgeons may further sub-specialise cardiac surgery by doing a fellowship in a variety of topics including: pediatric cardiac surgery, cardiac transplantation, adult aqcuired heart disease, etc...According to the 2006 MGMA Physician Compensation and Production Survey the average compensation of a cardiac surgeon is $470,000 USD.

Me returned. :) i don't think of it is purely too previous due so you might pursue a scientific degree. The trite asserting, "the place there's a will, there's a manner" actual applies. you at the instant are not even on the edge of being too old to initiate a sparkling course. think ofyou've have been given the middle curriculum below your belt. replace your substantial. it is your existence, hon, not your father's. you will be able to locate speaking to a professor efficient. somebody who's in premed and is keen to offer you preparation. you will be able to desire to communicate to a counselor or therapist too, in case you prefer yet i individually think of your melancholy could burn up in case you took can charge of your destiny. Your profession decision could make you happier and you may make an quite stable income. i think of you need to decide for it.
