Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one?

I would maybe consider being an EMT, but then i wouldn’t. Being an EMT falls under a lot of responsibility and fast acting. For this career i would be a 50/50, because most of it doesn’t fall for more but most then do. For example, a does not that follows under me is fast acting and critical thinking. I personally feel that i will probably panic at this situation and not know what to do at the moment. This career falls under emergency purpose, and in order to do this career you must have critical thinking skills and know what to do at the moment. These skills don’t really apply to me and i won’t be able to help save a life like these EMT’s do for a living.
