Reflection: I would not like to be a health educator because I don’t have the patience to stand in a room full of people who may or may not be serious. Teaching something to someone can be very frustrating when they repeatedly act like clowns or just don’t care. I think that this job doesn’t pay well enough for the responsibilities that are required to do.
