Reflection:

Being a psychiatrist sound very interesting, learning about the way that the mind works always interests me. I had no idea that being a psychiatrist was within the medical field but if it is I would sure take in consideration in being a psychiatrist. It maybe a few years of studying but the salary will pay off. I want a job that I can be able to help people and this career fits perfectly.
