Reflection: I do not think i would like to become a Wellness Specialist because it just doesn't catch my attention enough and i don't think i would like working as something i don't really enjoy doing. This job is a great opportunity for anyone interested, also because they give good pay, but i am not interested. So no i would not like to become a Wellness Specialist but it is a good career after all.
