Neurologist

Duties and Responsibilities: Neurologists are physicians trained in the treatment and diagnosis of brain and central nervous system disorders and diseases. Doctors trained in neurology complete medical school, a one-year internship in internal medicine and a three-year residency in neurology. Neurologists may also work in a subspecialty of the field, such as geriatric or pediatric neurology.

Salary: $228,161

Education: Similar to other physicians, neurologists must begin their careers by going to college and then attending medical school. As an undergraduate, aspiring doctors who major in a science, such as biology, chemistry or physics, will be better prepared for a medical school curriculum. Although most colleges do not have a pre-med major because medical schools do not require any specific major, some schools do offer a pre-med concentration that may include the biology, chemistry, physics and math courses required by medical schools.

This job does a good pay, but this is not what I want to study.

Harmful Effects and Consequences of Drug Abuse

Drugs affect you in every sort of way. Drug can affect you all your life, your present, and your future. Drug can also affect you in your job and sometimes it causes you to lose your job. Drug don't only affect you but your family and everyone around you as well. When you use drug you become aggressive with your family members and the ones who love you too. When you do drugs you are in your own little world, you are no longer you. Once you try drugs and you like them you become an addict. You start acting different and they can cause you to let your family members and friends down. You become a rebel, and steel money from your parents like if it's right when it's actually not. Once you do drugs it can also cause you to peer pressure your friends to do it as well. Drugs can actually get you to go to prison for many years. You can kill yourself for doing drugs, and there is no one to blame but yourself. If you really want to quit doing drugs you would go to look for help, and you will try your best to get away from them. Help is just around the corner.
