I would like to become a physician because the pays is good. Another reason that I would like to become a Physician or an M.D. Doctor the main reason is that in my family there are about five architects and most of the others all work in woodworking and there are also some engineers and there are no doctors so that’s one of the main reasons that I wanted to become a doctor, also I would also like to become a doctor so that I would be able to help people and possibly save some lives also I would be able to treat and diagnose people.
