9. Do you have to have all of the personal qualities to do this job?
10. Is there anything I forgot to ask you?

The responses:

1. The medical field is a nice place to work. There are a few things that you must have, though. One of them is the ability to pretend that one of your patients is like a family member or loved one and that you have to treat them that way. You also need good ethics.
2. In the medical field, you treat patients.
3. You need at least two years of college, and in my case, you need to pass a board certification test.
4. It's not necessarily hard to get the job I have, but becoming a doctor is harder than getting the job I have right now.
5. Yes, it's an enjoyable job. I think that my job is enjoyable.
6. My favorite part of the job is that the patients come in sick and miserable, and after a few days, they're back to normal. It's the satisfaction that comes out of knowing that I helped someone out of their misery or that I saved a life.
7. Yes, it's enough to take care of myself and a family.
8. I work ten hours a night, four nights a week, for a total of forty hours a week.
9. Of course. If you don't have all of the personal qualities, you can't get a job in the medical field.
10. No, not really. That's about all.
