  Hi @kianared13
  
  Thanks for this question. When I finish my PhD I will be a doctor, but not like a medical doctor. PhD literally means doctor of philosophy. My area of expertise will be epidemiology and psychology, and psychopharmacology! Let me know if you’d like info on what those subjects are!
  
  I would like to carry on doing research when I finish my PhD, but I’ve got a while before I get there (3 and a half years!)
  
  Hope this answers your question – do you know what you want to do for a career?

I want to be a medical doctor, but I’m looking at a long time in University! I think it will be worth it in the end though! Thanks for answering my question and good luck! 😀

Good luck in becoming a medical doctor. You’re right it’s a long time, but I think it’s worth it as well. The guitarist in my band is a medical doctor, and he really enjoys his work.
