I think the question may be: How many years does it take to become a pediatrician? Most pediatricians attend a four year college, four years of medical school and 3-4 four years of post graduate training (residency) for a grand total of 11-12 years before being allowed to practice in most states. Any specialty training adds between two and four years to that total. This means that most pediatricians will start practicing in their late 20s to early 30s. A lot of folks are choosing to work part time for quality of life reasons but most work full time. How long someone's career is depends on a number of factors but if you estimate retirement at 65, most docs work 30 - 40 years.
