Background
The medical field offers many different occupations and opportunities. All have an equal level of importance and are necessary for each other to perform at a good standard. While all jobs in the medical field are important there are only a few that I could see myself doing.Those jobs are more hands on and interacting with patients. I want to go into the medical field because helping people is something that I love to do and I can't think of a better job than that.

Now according to the College Foundation of North Carolina: Plan for a career (n.d.) website someone in this field must be someone who is investigative. They like to take a problem or situation and look at the causes and different ways to fix it. Also, you have to be someone who likes doing hands on projects and hands on things to find solutions to problems. Lastly, you have to be social, someone who likes being around people and working together. Brandon responded “I think someone who wants a more hands on job in the medical field has to be social and able to work with other people well, willing to conduct research, compassionate, able to handle stressful situations, and make judgment calls,” “I like to think that I have those qualities or that I’m striving to achieve
