Central nervous system: the brain and spinal cord

Salary: 
$228,161

Education: 

Four years of pre-medical education in a college or university
Four years of medical school resulting in an M.D. or D.O. degree (doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathy degree)
One year internship in either internal medicine or medicine/surgery
At least 3 years of specialty training in an accredited neurology residency program

Reflection:
Working with the brain and the eyes does sound interesting but if I wanted to work with these functions I'd study to become a neurosurgeon.
