Reflection: I think this career is and interesting career. I like the fact they manufacture lots of different thing not just one or two. Although this seem very interesting I’m not so sure it’s the right career for me, it’s not that it doesn’t catch my attention because it does it just that dentist have always freaked me out so I wouldn’t want to work in the same field as them.
