I wouldn't like to a an electroneurodiagnostic technologist because I don't feel it's the right job for me. First of all I'm not an organized person and this type of job needs a person that can keep things in order and on record and I forget things and don't really pay much attention. I sound like a typical teenager but its just not me. Can't work in a place where there isn't much action.
