Medical Malpractice Attorneys and Lawyers

Which career is better: Lawyer / Medical Specialist / Journalist?

Which career is better: Lawyer / Medical Specialist / Journalist? Please consider the salary, outlook on future, years of schooling, the level of stress, un/employment rates. I need good answers. Thanks! I am interested in all these areas. By the way, the medical areas I'm thinking of are opthalmology or neurology.

1. Well as cliched as it may seem, you should focus on doing what you love or enjoy first when considering these three jobs, rather then the criteria you mentioned. That being said here are my opinions: lawyer - high pay tends to equal high stress. The long term employment outlook is good, but it seems to be taking longer and longer to pay off those loans for law school. Of course if you are the number one student in a top tier school, then you should be fine. medical specialist - not sure here, so I'll skip it. journalist - this one is tough. Thanks to the internet, this field is going through some massive changes. The formerly typical type of journalism jobs, print, is disappearing. Yet the appetite for news, clips, etc. delivered through electronic news sources is growing. I'd look for a program that taught you journalism skills but specialized in new media means for getting your message to the people.
