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

No I would not like to be one, as this job does not suit me. I wouldn't like to only provide information needed for others. I find that I myself can do more than be a medical librarian. I would like to help others and do other things. I also wouldn’t be able to sit still at all. So there’s the downside to me and this occupation. As it wouldn’t be suited for me either.
