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

I don think I would like to be an ophthalmologist because I don really like to work with lenses and or eyes I am more like to do full body medication not only a certain area as eyes. I also believe that this job is kind of boring because like I said there’s in not more body parts involved it only specialist on eyes and I want work general medicine not only for a part on specific.
