"Bioethics Career Options and Education Requirements.

The job that a bioethicist may offer comes in different forms of jobs, just like the ones listed above. To consider any of the jobs that one can pursue we have to go to college, study, and get a masters degree or higher depending on the choice of study that someone wants to achieve. A bioethicist would be a great job to consider because of its benefits it offers.

Imagine a world where people are given information to make their difficult situation easier to understand and act upon. That when they are faced with a life or death situation they know that what they chose was the best decision they could have made. According to ECFMG.org, “[A bioethicist] analyzes ethical components of real or potential health care actions/decisions, and provides an ethical justification supporting specific actions or decisions.” To think that a person can help another person in a difficult situation by taking away their riddance. This action will not be disdain because with the education someone takes they will be ready for anything that is thrown at them.

Also as a bioethicist we simply cannot forget the salary! Which is shown above that can range from $70,000 to about $100,000. Of course we can't ignore that to practice these careers we must be valiant. By having this type of salary and helping others can sure motivate us to pursue this career.

We also need to consider that by chasing this career we also benefit everyone and not just one person. Unlike a typical bioethicist at a hospital, someone can be broad and set guidelines for others to follow like in NIH.gov says, “Bioethicists and public health professionals together will need to develop a vocabulary and appropriate methods of analysis for public health problems.” This is future sense, but aren't we the future? We need step up. Have a voice to those who don't know they do. Be a thunder among a quiet valley. Be a straight path in a confusing road. Running to those who need a hero. Running to be a voice.

Of course people can make up their own decisions and do whatever they wish to do, but to be a bioethicist is not to provoke someone into doing a something they don't want to but advise them to what science says is correct. It is to give their opinion and hope they chose to what the patient think is for the best in any given situation. 
Being a bioethicist will benefit someone by helping someone else in their anguish, gain good money, and helping a  broad area of people not just a single person. To be someone in a growing career that is expanding because of the need of knowledge and advice. A bioethicist who knows the problems that we, as a growing new generation, are being faced with with what seems new every day. Pursuing this career will benefit us and others who we one day will become.
