Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not? I honestly feel like this a great job for one to focus on. You get paid well, you get to help others, and although the road toward being a dermatologist may be long, it can be a very rewarding career, just like many other careers in the Medical Field. In the end, however, I would like to be one, or of course it will be one of my ideal careers I may pursue in the future.
