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

In my opinion I think that I would want to be one. The reason why I would like to be one is because it might be pretty fun searching for things that might cause damage to our environment. It may help me find out ways to keep my house the way it’s supposed to be and notice if their might be anything wrong around where I live. They pay a really good annual salary which might help me a lot and no experience is required. There might be a lot of time of education taken but it is worth it.
