Question by Ariba: Is oncology a good career if you have kids?
Will I have time with my family?
Are there emergencies in oncology?

Best answer:

Answer by Diane A
You would have the same amount of time as any other MD in an acute care type practice. You would do office hours, hospital rounds, and, yes, take call. Oncologists have emergencies.

Question by blah blah: Pediatric Oncology career/life/how do you do it?
I’m a junior in high school and getting ready to go or at least start my path to college. My dream has always been to go into pediatrics and oncology has always fascinated me. So even though it is a emotionally hard job, I feel like it would be very rewarding to help children who probably don’t know how much longer they have to live. I feel like if I can make them happy, then my job is fullfilled. But my question is, how do you pediatric oncologists, or any doctors for that matter enjoy life at home. I want a family and another life besides work, but do you manage to find time for that? I don’t want to miss out on what life has to offer, but I still want this career SOOO badlyy.
any advice? how do you guys manage?
thank you in advance. it’s really appreciated. =)

Answer by someday, i will change the world
what a coincidence, i am i junior in high school and i want to become a pediatric oncologist, also!

basically you have to go to a four year college for pre-med, or biology, something along those lines, go to a med school. All doctors have the same classes in med school. During internship, you spend time with doctors in the same field, that you want to go in. And then residency, then you are a doctor.
it will take approximately 12 years to become a pediatric oncologist

Question by aedwards02: For a science career, possibly oncology(cancer treatment), which foreign language should I take during college
I am going to be a freshmen in college this fall. I am going to major in molecular biology, probably heading for med school after that. I want to do something in oncology (cancer treatment). My question is whether i should take something like Chinese, for the high demand of people fluent in Chinese, or should I take something like Spanish, since obviously there is a large Spanish population in the US?

Best answer:

Answer by HackerofC
Chinese Culture and language are something difficult– yer rewarding.

However, there might be a need for Chinese speakers, but that is mostly in the areas of the CIA or Medical Researcher, the former taking the top spot.

Hispanic people still not graduating from college like they should and their population is to said the least, exploding.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-02-11-population-study_N.htm

Much of the grow is from immigration, Therefore, people with low English skils.

Taking Chinese would not hurt.
But taking and Mastering Spanish will help.

Even UCLA agrees:
