"It's very flexible as regards time. For example, I have decided to work a four-day week. If I wanted to I could take a pay cut and take less, or work more and get more money. I like the fact that you have a set amount of work to get through for the day, so your day is finished when you go home and there's nothing hanging over you". i think i would like this job because it has a flexiable schedual so thats good because i don't want a overwhelming job.
How to get prepared for the future.
Good courses to take at Leyden would be Medical careers and Human development because there two courses have to do with the human body and that what i would be working with. A club that would also benefit me would be speech club because it can help interact with other people. It would help me out in the future to get a job if i vollentured at a hospital or small clinic because that means i would some what know what to do. I do plan to go to a 4 year university or college to prepare my self.
