The educational requirements to become a Pediatric Oncologist are very similar to those of becoming a doctor.  You need to get a bachelors and then complete medical school.  The bachelors can be in any field of your liking as long as you complete the required pre-requisites.  Most people major in some sort of science or pre-med because there are many pre-requisite classes that are included within that major.

After the four years of undergrad, there are four more years of medical school.  Once medical school is completed, there are three years of internship residency required in order to be a practicing pediatric oncologist.

The educational requirements for becoming a psychiatrist are very similar to those of becoming a doctor.  You must complete a four-year undergrad program, including the pre-requisites for med school.  Then you must go to a four-year medical school, and finally finish by doing a residency that will typically last four to six years.

One must keep in mind that a psychiatrist is different than a psycologist.  A psychiatrist can perscribe medication, whereas a psycologist can only talk to you about your issues.

A dermatologist is a type of physician, so the requirements are very similar.  You need to get a four-year bachelors degree, then get another four-year medical school degree and finally do a residency that will typically last about 4 years.

Your undergraduate degree can be in what ever you desire, however you need to make sure you take the appropriate pre-requisite courses before applying to medical school.  Most people major in some sort of science or pre-med since the pre-requisites are mostly science-based classes.

In order to be a registered nurse, you must have an associates or a bachelors in nursing and pass the registered nurse exam.  Being a registered nurse is a great career, with starting salaries in the $50k to $100k range.  Registered nurses are in very high demand due to the aging baby-boomer population.

If you are interested in becoming a registered nurse, also take a look at the Nurse Practitioner career.

If you are thinking about getting a bachelors or an undergraduate degree in Education, there are a few requirements you need to meet before graduating.  The requirements vary from university to university, so check with your particular college to find out exactly what courses you need to take.

When you graduate the program, you are typically qualified to become a teacher.

To graduate from the program, you typically need to finish the following requirements:

General education

Specific major courses in your field which typically include child development, psychology, history, and other social sciences.

There are no formal educational requirements to become a Roofer.  Typically, roofers will work their way up through the trades.  They start out as apprentices, eventually become journeymen and finally they could be foremen.  Some companies will require a high school education, but most simply want to see experience on your resume.

If you want to be some sort of manager for a roofing construction company, a bachelors in civil engineering, business or construction management may help.  Not all companies will require a bachelors, but many prefer one.

There are a handful of technical schools and trade programs that offer roofing educational opportunities.

If you are interested in working in the field of hematology, you are going to have to achieve the same level of education as any other doctor.  You will need a four-year bachelors or undergrad degree, then complete medical school and a residency.

Your bachelors can be in anything you want, however you need to make sure to take all the appropriate prerequisite courses before applying to medical school.  Medical school should last four years, and your residency should be up to four years.

Once you finish your undergraduate, medical school and residency, you can begin training in the field of hematology.  The training requirements typically take about ten years before you are completely done and a practicing hematologist.

Unlike being a doctor or a lawyer, you are not required to achieve a certian level of education to become a zoologist.  Most employers look for candidates that have a bachelors in zoology, biology, chemistry or another related science.  There are some associates programs offered by junior colleges, technical colleges and trade schools.  Masters programs are available, along with PHD’s.

Technically speaking, you could get a job in the zoology field without having any formal education.  The more education you receive, the better your chances of being successful in your career, and the more opportunities you will have for advancement.

Lawyers or attorneys are typically thought of as highly educated.  Not all people think this job is prestigious or respectable, but most can agree that lawyers have a good amount of education.

To become a lawyer, you need a Bachelors degree and also a Juris Doctor, or a JD.  The bachelors degree can be in anything, but most lawyers study political science or history.  People who are interested in a specific part of law, (eg. patent law, corporate law) might get an undergrad in a related field.

After getting your BS, you need to go to law school.  Law school usually takes 3 years.  After law school, you can take your bar exam to be licensed or “Barred” to practice law in your state.

Technically, you can take the bar without a JD.  If a member of the bar states that you studied under him or her for a certian number of years, you may be elegible for the bar.  This is not practiced very often though, and most people go the law-school route.
