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

I think that I would want to become an ambulance dispatcher. The reason why is because their duties and responsibilities aren't difficult. They may not get a big amount of money but their job is not hard. They also don't have to have a lot of education to be one.
