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

I don't think I would like to be one. I do enjoy meditation, but a whole career based on that specialty I would not like. I want to be a therapist, but I would like my specialty to be in art instead. It would allow me to help others the same, but with the use of art to express themselves.
