I would not like to be a genetic counselor because I don’t think that I fit in that part from the medical field I believe that it’s a great job but I think it’s not interesting that I would not want to fit in that position being a genetic counselor takes a lot of effort a lot of responsibility that I think is great but I would like to be a nurse not just only to be one but to help other people who need help.
