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

I very much believe that I would like to be one. This is because I would love to help people with their problems, do surgery on them, and get paid. Although with the description of traits needed I do not think I would be a good fit because I do not make goof decisions under pressure and would not like working long hours, even if the pay measures it out.
