Reflection: Being a medical scientist would be cool because i enjoy this kind of stuff, and often read/learn about it online. This job pays really well, but requires a ton of knowledge and education. Although it might be a struggle, I think this might be something I would enjoy for a while. The demand might be really high because I haven’t heard too much about this job. It might be because of the requirements to be one. I would consider this one of my dream jobs.
