Reflection: I honestly wouldn’t like to become a Health Science Librarian because i wouldn’t enjoy doing what they are expected to do and because I know i can make much more salary a year doing something i love doing. Another reason i wouldn’t enjoy doing this is because i don’t want to work with computers.
