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

I would not like to be one because this a person with this career does a lot of work, in which people's lives depend on, so I would not like to have that kind of responsibility on me. I would also not like to be one because they do  lot of work and only get paid a little salary.
