Question
Dr. Levy, thank you for your time.  I have a few questions.  I will be finishing up from an online 2yr assoc degree (general studies). What are my next steps? When you do your internship are you paid?  How long do you intern before you start working?  What is an average salary?  What is you most memorable experience?  Why did you choose this field of specialty?  Besides the OR, what other areas can anesthesiologist cover?  Appreciate your time.

Answer
You have a long way to go until you can start anesthesiology. You need 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school. Salaries are variable so it's hard to answer that question.
