Psychiatrist
Psychiatrists are physicians who specialize in the problems of mental illness. As physicians, they are licensed to use a variety of treatment and may write prescriptions. Psychiatrists may work for the government, have their own private practice, or work in hospitals, clinics, or universities. Their duties include designing treatment programs, conducting psychotherapy sessions, prescribing potent mental illness drugs, supervising electrotherapy treatments, conducting research, and leading a team of mental health care providers.
Average Salary: $90,000-$200,000

Educational Requirements: In addition to completing the requirement for a degree in allopathic or osteopathic medicine, psychiatrists must complete an intensive three year residency in psychiatry.
Reflection: I think i would consider being a psychiatrist because i like helping people out.
