:Personally i wouldn’t want to be one because i’m focused on the medical field right now but i'm still not sure what i want to be but this doesn’t quite call my attention. It seems like it would be a good job and you would be helpful to others and you can talk to others but you’re going to be all depressed and it won’t work out if you put your part to it .
