  2. Introduction A lot of people have crooked teeth in fact 60% of people have crooked teeth. I want to help you with your teeth. If you aren't comfortable with your smile I want to be the person to come and see. I wanted to be an orthodontist interesting to me because I see a lot of people with for over 5 years. This career field is braces and I want to know about them. I love to help people and I think this career field is the way to do it. 60% is a lot of people, I want to make that percentage less. In order to get a better understanding of my chosen career field, I will be researching Nature of work, Working conditions , Training, qualifications, advancements, Job outlook/employment, Earnings, Related occupations.

  9. Summary From this power point I've learned that it will be challenging for me to get into this career field. It will be hard for me because it requires good grades, witch I have. Also it can require up to 6 years in college witch will be hard for me because I really don’t like school that much.I still like this career field but if it doesn't work out then I will own my own business. I will keep my grades up to go into this career field but I can accept it if it doesn’t work out.
