                            Psychiatrist
Duties and Responsibilities:
Psychiatrists are physicians who specialize in the problems of mental illness.  As physicians, they are licensed to use a vary wide variety of treatment and may write prescriptions.  Psychiatrists may work for the government, have their own private practice, or work in hospitals, clinics, or universities.  Their duties include: 
  • Designing treatment programs. 
  • Conducting psychotherapy sessions.
  • Prescribing potent mental illness drugs.
  • Supervising electrotherapy treatments.
  • Conducting research.
  • Leading a team of mental health care providers.
Average Salary:
$90,000-$200,000
Education:

In Addition to completing the requirements for a degree in allopathic or osteopathic medicine, psychiatrists must complete an intensive three year residency in psychiatry.  
I think this job seems pretty easy but complicated at the same time.
