Reflection: do you think you would like to be one why or why not?
After conducting research on this [profession I don’t think I would like to be because they don’t meet my interests. I don’t think getting payed 40,000 a year is enough for me. And I’m not good at listening to others people’s problems and telling them that they should do this. It just doesn’t seem like the right fit for me.
