    3. Give three reasons why you would not like this job (be specific):
    4. a) ___I would not like this job because I sometimes find working with tools boring. I would also not like this job because I would feel stressed out due to all the deadlines of when you have to have the machinery fixed by. the last reason I would not like to have this job is because I would always feel like I would want to follow up with the machines and the patients, but that is a doctors job.___________________________________________________________ b) ________________________________________________________________ c)      ________________________________________________________________
    5. Is this job for you? Why or why not?

    __overall,_i don’t think this is the job for me because I am not very excited by engineering and machinery. I also would like to be more involved with patients and medicine than the machines. _____________________________________________________________________________________

    1. Explain the value of the TYKTW experience in relation to your ideas about your post secondary (after high school) plans (education?, training?, travel?, work?).

    I think this expierience gave me a good idea of something I might want to do as a job. when I was at the hospital, I was able to view procedures and go into the OR’s which I found extremely interesting I would like to explore it more. in conclusion, the TYKTW expeirience was very interesting and I would like to do it again.  __________________________________________________________________________________________
