Like would they go to a hospital and look for a job opening or, would the school they graduate from find them a job or, do they just end up working at where they did their residency?

My doctor told me to start looking for a pediatrician but I haven't been able to find one. I am 22 weeks pregnant. All the pediatricians are booked up. I can get on a waiting list but it's still not a good chance that I will get one. Can I just use my family doctor? I know they can give the baby all of his shots. I live in a small town so I will have to drive an hour and a half to get to a pediatrician.

I am currently in High School, ninth grade, and I really want to be a pediatrician when I grow up. I've had great experiences with pediatricians, one has helped me and been there for me when I had a grave problem. Now, how does it work to become a pediatrician? What classes should I take in high school? What happens after I graduate from high school? What medical school is the best and would reflect good on me? I am a smart kid, I just procrastinate too much. I am currently overcoming that. Anyways, when you study to become a pediatrician do you just become one automatically and have the choice of starting your own office? Any help would be great.

I have been thinking about becoming a pediatrician. And have been stuck on the thought of if it would be a good idea to start a family after med school or during. Or should you just wait? I know 30 isnt really old to have a kid, but I just always thought I'd do it sooner (25-28). Even though that is kind of young. If you are a pediatrician or in the process, let me know how it went/is going for you, and your opinion on when to start a family. Thanks!

I want to know what the average salary of a pediatrician. Also, if you know how much pediatricians make in Los Angeles, California, that would be even better.

Is the newly certified pediatrician automatically assigned a job at a medical center to practice after attaining the degree? If no, how long does it take to get a job? Does the place you went to med. school and where you did your training matter in getting a job? Thanks a lot. I'm currently a senior at high school now and I'm simply curious about life after medical school, as I do plan on going to medical school later on.

What things have you found that pediatricians do or say that you wish they wouldn't? I wish that pediatricians would stop saying that it's okay to start solids at 4 months. I hear constantly about how someone's pediatrician said that it was okay to go ahead and start cereal at 4 months. Since as moms we tend to not question the authority of our pediatricians, what things do you wish they would stop doing?

I'm thinking about jobs for after I graduate from high school and maybe get a little college. My main criteria is decent paying(the equivalent of 70k+ a year now) and the opportunity to help many people. It doesn't matter too much to me what field it's in, although I'd prefer science.
