Reflection; I would not like to become a orthopedic Surgeon because it doesn’t really capture my interest in it. It is a good pay but it isn’t something I would want to become later on. It takes too much time to become a Orthopedic Surgeon and I think I would much rather do something else that takes less years to accomplish.
