Odds of Getting In
There's no shortage of cancer patients, but there's something of a shortage in doctors who treat them. Oncology is a growing field, particularly as people are living longer. If you're going into medicine and have the right personality, temperament, and communication skills to handle life and death matters on a daily basis, you'll have tons of job offers.
After you're trained, it's just a matter of deciding what suits you best—a big city, the suburbs, or the beach? Pick whatever you'd like. You'll be needed everywhere.
