Doctor

Never mind their latex gloves, their needles and the fact that they’ve seen the inside of your nose — or worse — with a flashlight. Although they’ve witnessed you at your worst, Doctors have serious appeal. Not only for patients, but also for singles, mothers and Matchmakers, all of which swoon at the very sight of a stethoscope.

Unless you just play one on TV, however, being a Doctor isn’t about being popular on the Saturday night speed-dating circuit. It’s about saving lives.

While Surgeons seem to get all the starring roles on screen, as a real Physician you can choose from dozens of medical specialties. For instance, Doctors can specialize in treating a group of patients, such as children, women or seniors; a condition, such as diabetes, asthma or depression; or a body part, such as the skin, liver or foot.

Regardless of your specialty, one thing’s certain: You’ll spend your days seeing patients, then using your vast medical knowledge to diagnose and treat them. Because you’ll probably have Nurses to do routine tasks like taking blood and checking vital signs, your main duty is listening to patients, analyzing their problems and offering informed medical opinions — all while being ethical, accurate and sensitive.

Whether you cure their cancer or just clear their acne, you’ll very often extend or improve your patients’ lives. And while that will no doubt make you irresistible to members of the opposite sex and their parents, it also will give you some serious warm fuzzies.
