1. Surgery
Surgeons are perceived as being the top of the pack, not only because some surgeries can be long and very difficult but also because they literally have your life in their hands. And they also take longer to train.
It can be a very stressful job but on the other hand, when you have a free evening and go out, saying that you’re a surgeon will attract the attention of everyone.
There are 14 recognized surgical specialties, according to the American College of Surgeons, which gives you plenty of choices for specialization.
After the four required years of medical school, a surgeon will spend at least 3 to 10 years (for the most pointed specialty) in residency before becoming a fully-fledged surgeon.
