When taking tests and establish treatments, allergists must take into account each patient's medical history to see which other disease he/she might suffer from or if he/she is allergic to certain drugs

Salary:

$118,000-$184,000

Education:

Allergists must complete college or enough science and math courses to be admitted to medical school. They must then complete four years of medical school and three years of residency.

Reflection:

This is the first one I don’t think I would want to do because it looks hard and I feel like it’s kind of hard to know what every person is allergic to. If someone told me that if I wanted to become one I would probably say no.
