Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist

Duties & Responsibilities: 

Ear, nose, and throat specialists, also known as otolaryngologists or ENT specialists, are medical doctors responsible for surgical and medical treatment of the ears, nose, and throat, as well as the related head and neck areas.

Salary:  $205,000 per year

Education: ENT physicians must complete about 15 years of education and training, including a 4-year undergraduate program, 4-year medical program, at least 5 years of specialty training and a 1- to 2-year residency program (e.g., General Surgery).

Reflection: I wouldn’t want to be an ear, nose & throat specialist because it doesn’t catch my attention and I am focused on another career.
