* The job that I think is considered important in my country is a doctor. As far as I am concerned, doctors are important in many countries because they are basically dealing with the very lives of people, literally. Therefore, the doctor is one of the most sought after job, especially in young countries such as Australia or Canada. Since it requires specialised knowledge and experiences in the medical fields in order to conduct serious surgeries, the people who want to be doctors need to go through at least 6 years to have a degree in that field and additionally another 3 years of hands-on training before they can officially be called as 'doctors'.
However, there are a few reasons why I think doctors are particularly significant in Korea. As many international people know already, Korea is famous and infamous for plastic surgeries. For this reason, there are tons of people who go to the hospital frequently just for cosmetic reasons, spending a great deal of money on plastic surgeries annually. Due to its high demand, there are also numerous hospitals in Korea which specialise in cosmetic surgeries.
Since the majority of people who want to become doctors only hope to earn a lot of money, less caring for the safety and right procedures, I think the genuine doctors are very few in spite of a number of doctors in Korea. And this deplorable fact threatens the precious lives of many Koreans. A lot of surgeons do not explain well about the side effects or drawbacks of surgeries. Thus, many Koreans who have been through unnecessary plastic surgeries now suffer from its fatal side effects, and as a matter of fact, there are even communities for those who have to suffer from the side effects of such surgeries for the rest of their lives.
When Koreans focus on the nations' skillfulness as it has many skilled doctors compared to other counties, I think it can make good impacts on the global society. As the medical sector in Korea is famous for its experiences and proficiency in many medical fields, I think it can contribute enormously to the Korean economy, as it is now. So if it is used properly, I think it can be a major growth factor in Korea in the long term.
