Reflection: I would consider becoming a dentist lab technician because the job seems easygoing and calm. I would like to become a dental lab technician, because unlike being a dentist, I do not have to be contacting people so near their mouths and facial areas. Another reason why I would like to become a dental lab technician is because ti it involves designing so that means the job is different everyday and that is a good thing because it will not bore me.
