Do you think you would like to be one? Why or why not?
I don't think I would like to become one for many reasons, that I will never come to an understanding too. I don't like working in a hospital atmosphere or being responsible for someone's life. I don't think I will like the rush or the challenge of being changed and move so easily. For instance, I can have a stable patient to one who's in the ER.

Do you think you would like to be one? Why or Why not?
    After learning more about this profession and finding out that this profession is like being a paid parent. The reason why I'm mentioning this is because their duties involve the same or similar ones that parents or caregivers have to do on a day to day basis. I don't think I would like to be one the reason why is because the professions salary is verrry low and the educational requirements are also low. Which means in other words you wouldn't have much power or much say at all that goes on.

Reflection:
 Do you think you would like to be one? 
Why? Why not?
After researching this career  still believe that this career isn't right for me because it isn't my dream career. the reason why is because I don't like surgery and i don't think I would be fit for tis job. My dream career is to be a psych major and not a medical one. I don't think that it would be interesting for me to continue studying and working in this career.
