Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one?

I think that I wouldn't want to become a movement therapist. One of the reasons why I wouldn't want to become one is because I don’t think that I would get the job. I don’t know how the dance at all and I don’t think that I would want to dance or perform for a living. I am more interested in getting a career that is more into the medical things like a doctor or a nurse.
