Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I think that I would want to be a Dental lab technician. The reason why I think this is because I think that to become one you don’t need a lot of education. This career pays well and it is in the medical field which is something that I want to do. Also there was a time when I wanted to become a dentist or a dentist assistant so I think that I would be interested in a career like this.
