Summary
I could see myself doing this career in the future because I like genetics and the way genes work. Studying genetics would be really cool because you would get to see what genes cause what disorders and diseases. Not only just in humans but you could study plant and animal genes too. In animals you would know why certain breeds do things better than others. For plants you would know how they are resistant to other insects and produce more or less protein. Pros for me personally are that you get to study genes which is interesting to me. You also get to research what causes diseases. Some cons are that you have to go to med school so that would be more schooling. You also have long hours to work. This is a really interesting job to have.
