Reflection: No I will not want to be a Psychiatrist because I think is really stressful to work with people that have problem. Therefor, I love to help people in different ways. I love the fact they make 117,000 to 134,000 thats a lot of money but i don't see my self as a psychiatrist for a personal career.
