What kind of classes should I take in high school to be a pediatric doctor or dentist?
Q. im in 9th grade, but starting to think about college.
Can you tell me the differences between a pediatric doctor and a pediatric dentist?

*The different salaries
*What classes should I take in high school?
*How many years of college for each
*What classes do I take in college?

A. Well, pediatric means children. So a doctor would be someone who diagnoses and assess health of children, and a dentist would take care of their teeth and such.

It depends on where you live, both would make great salaries, I assume. Go to payscale.com or salary.com and look up whatever you want.

Take challenging math courses like calculus and such. Lots of sciences like anatomy, chemistry, biology, and anything else health or body related. Find out if your school offers AP classes for college credit.

Medical school is required for both professions, that's four years. But before you go to med school, you must take four years of pre med, so you're looking at eight or more years of college. There is also training and such before you may be eligible to get a medical license and begin independent work.

Your college academic adviser will guide you through picking all your classes throughout your college career.
