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

I think that I wouldn’t want to have this career forever but I think that I would want a job like this to start with. Later on I would want to do something that would pay more and would be more advanced than just a nurse that takes care of people. They do have a pretty fair salary so I think that I would want to do this for a while.
