Reflection:

       I wouldn't want to be a dental lab technician. Working with people’s mouths grosses me out a little bit. It seems a bit difficult to do this type of job. Takes a lot of focus and patience to do the job, which I don’t have. It pays well and is very professional, but this job is not right for me.
