Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I don't think I would like to be an electrocardiograph technician because it doesn't interest me as much. I would much rather be something else that actually does interest me and that i'll actually put an effort to study that career. I think I would most likely choose a career being a pediatrician because i want to be a children;s doctor. I would like to help out the children. So I honestly don't think i would like to be a EKG technician.
