Duties and Responsibilities: A thoracic surgeon is a medical doctor who performs operations on the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs in the chest. This also includes surgeons who can be called cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, general thoracic surgeons, and congenital heart surgeons.
Salary
$100,000 - 400,000
Education:
Thoracic surgeons have to graduate from medical school and most commonly will go on to complete a five-year general surgery residency. After this they must successfully matriculate through an approved cardiothoracic surgery residency program for either two or three years. Some thoracic surgeons choose to do additional training in a sub-specialized area but this training is largely optional, except for congenital heart surgery.

Reflection:
I would consider this job maybe as a second option to what I already want to do. These types of jobs do seem interesting to me but id much rather be a forensic scientist. But if i had a chance to do this then i think i take the opportunity.
