Job Reflection and Outlook: A challenging part about this career is developing patients to help someone. They would be struggling without my help and I have to stay patient and work with them for as long as it takes. Positive perks are that its not a difficult job, good pay, and I can work with children. Trends that would affect someone entering this position would be which environment to decide to work in because each one is different. The job market is increasing 21%. This job has been affected by that economy because the majority of clinical activities and knowledge areas were not being learned in the appropriate places.

Conclusion
This career is very important in our society today because it can change a persons life.
