Ear, Nose, and Throat Surgeon(ENT)

Duties and Responsibilities: An ear, nose and throat specialist (ENT) is a physician trained in the medical and surgical treatment of the ears, nose throat, and related structures of the head and neck.

Education: Students who wish to become an ENT should take the highest level of math and english classes. An ENT specialist is ready to start practicing after up to 15 years of college and postgraduate training. To qualify for certification from the American Board of Otolaryngology, an applicant must first complete college, medical school (usually four years), and at least five years of specialty training. Next, the physician must pass the American Board of Otolaryngology examination to be certified. Although typically Ent's take 15 years of study some take up to seven due to a test. 

Reflection: Once more I must decline this job due to my weak stomach. Typically I seem to get disgusted at even fake movie blood.
