Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I wouldn't like to be a Health Sciences Librarian. I wouldn't like to be one because you have to be familiar to so much medical references. For example, if you can’t understand the reference. Also, it’s dealing with knowing where everything is at and placed.
