After Bachelor's Degree...

Where do you go from here? Do you need more education? Would you look to move up in your work?

After obtaining a bachelor’s degree, medical school and residency are required to be a certified pediatrician. Medical school would take typically four years, and then residency would take three to eight. Once certified, pediatricians can be very flexible with how they handle their job. I could open my own practice, or be in a practice with others, but almost always as a pediatrician you are your own boss.
