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

I think that I wouldn’t want to be a dentist from the military. The reason why I wouldn’t want to be one is because I don’t know how much you get paid for doing it. I think that it would be a good opportunity and something very good to do because of all the compensations but I would have to think about it.
