That's only an answer you can give yourself.  Ask yourself worse case scenario situations....as a pediatrician think of all the trouble kids can get into - infections, lacerations, screaming newborns with unknown causes.  As an anestheiologist (which your spelling is wrong) can you handle administering drug to a severe car accident victim, or an epidural to a woman at the peak of her delivery.  \n\nWhich would you get most joy out of...if you're looking for money, that will only last you a couple of year.  Stability - there will always be work, depending on what kind of pediatrician you would like to be you may be on call all the time, my pediatrician ALWAYS takes her clients calls regardless of the time.  Anesthesiologists vary - if you're in office then there are office hours working with a surgeon, if you are hospital then it's shifts just like a nurse/doctor.  \n\nYou need to determine which will fulfill your needs most.

Look up pediatricians in your local phonebook and start calling. Most people (in my experience anyway) are happy to talk to you about what they do for a living.

If you are currently looking for a job, you know what it is like to feel stress. Balancing family, finances, schedules, and other issues make the hunt for a new position arduous. Part of being able to control the stress is knowing what to do. Part of handling the stress is being able to know what NOT to do, too. \n\n(That's the start of an article posted here:)

Yes there is a lot of demand for Pediatricians. This is a medical speciltiy that does not pay as well as most others so it is less attractive to med students than some of the others. However depending on who you listen to there will be too many or too few in the future.\n\nHere is an excerpt from an article you may want to read\n\nOn the other hand, large financial rewards have never been the goal of pediatricians. If I were counseling a medical student who was interested in general pediatrics, I would advise them to pursue their interests and not be dissuaded by forecasts that the job market was bleak. The cream rises to the top, and there have always been opportunities for skilled pediatricians. In a similar vein, projections about the future vary with the predictor. Although Shipman et al1 are concerned about an oversupply of pediatricians, Cooper et al12 have predicted a physician shortfall. We are left wondering whether we need to upsize or downsize and hope that, with our efforts, we do not capsize the entire system.

21 years in grocery (deli and produce departments). Don't know if I can make it til retirement in 25 years!! My boss told me that he read somewhere that retail is the third most stressful job under police/fireman and doctors/nurses.  Sometimes I feel that it's true especially during holidays!

Eek. Doctors have to work all the time. They even have to work on christmas. They work in hospitals or in small little offices. They should never develope a relationship with their patients. There are many kinds of doctors. ER Doctors work specificially in the Emergency Room, doctors who give birth, doctors who give shots, etc. They must wash their hand for 2 minutes after helping someone. They must be very clean. They can't turn a patient down. If your teacher wants you to be specific then you should say which kind of doctor you prefer to be. A doctor who gets involved in lots of blood or a doctor who puts bandaides on a little boy who fell of his skateboard.

I am 15 yrs. old right now.\n\nWhen I was young, I asked the same question to my parents.\n\nThey said that when I become 12, I would no longer be taken to pediatricians, no more lollipops, nor candies, rather a more complicated and painful approach would be given.\n\nAnd that is going to different kinds of doctors

I once put my daughter in the car to take her to the doctor's office. We got all the way to the clinic and when I went to take her out of her carseat she was wearing her shirt and pants, but no diaper. She'd soaked herself and her carseat. i had to go home and reschedule the appointment. It had been a stressful day at work and I'd rushed to get home and take her to get shots.. At least she wasn't sick.

Teachers are not the only jobs with stress.  I guess you could say policeman have a hard time changing from 'law enforcement mode' to 'family mode' . And what about lawyers who argue for a living,\n\nEach job has stress and  for the most part, I don't think teaching is more stressful then many other jobs - nurses, doctors, EMTs, paramedics, police - where you are dealing with life and death on an everyday basis.
