I have two passions in my life. I want to be a choir teacher. I also want to be an endocrinologist. I want to go to Colorado for college. I'm trying to figure out the pros and cons in both. I'm basically on my own when it comes to paying for college. I was wondering if I can afford medical school. I have really good grades. I'm not very good at math. I love biology and anatomy. My mother is diabetic and I understand a lot about diabetes. What are the benefits of becoming an endocrinologist? What are the cons?

I intend to do ob/gyn and am interested in pursuing either MFM or REI. Can you comment about how academic REI works? I have read/heard that academic REI doesn't encompass much infertility work, and the salary kind of stinks (compared to other academic ob/gyn positions). What are your thoughts on compatibility of research/teaching and private practice REI? I see that you manage to do both somehow! Hello Dr. Lee-

It costs eleven years of your life after college. The actual $$ cost depends on your tuition, but remember that in the last seven years, you get paid rather than pay. As for a shorter route, there's no easy shortcut I know of to skip any time in med school, residency or fellowship. If short route is your goal, the best you can do is not to prolong it by taking time off, I guess. I'm not sure where you are in your path, but good luck!

I have 2 question for you that i just can't seem to find an answer to. First, about how much does it cost to actually become a RE? Second, you said that you took a more direct route to becoming and RE, but some REs are over 40 when they finish all their training. Is there any recommendations you can give me as too how to take a shorter route? Hi Dr. Lee,
