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

I don’t think I would like to be one, because I have conditions involving my skin as well. I wouldn't want to live in that irony, this would affect me as an employee in my occupation. So no, this professions seems to be well suited for others but I don't think it’s for me. As I have already considered another career for the future.
