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

I think i would probably like to be one. It is a bit interesting. Its interesting because there are many fields you can go into within the field itself. Also i would be helping others which i like. Although, something i do not like is the fact that gender kind of plays a role. Also there is 12 years of school needed which is so much.
