In 200 to 400 words, explain which of the above careers you believe you would best fit into and why.
From the table above, I would personally fit the clinical educator despite the fact that roles will always overlap. I think clinical educator will work for me since I have passion in advising people to live a healthy life, my knowledge in the field will go a long way in helping the members of the public cope with their life. I also love it because it will give me a better understanding of the field that is more superior since people will be relying on me for education and advice and thus challenging me to peruse even a higher understanding on complex issues. Interacting with people through educational seminars that I will chair will give me a better understanding of the general public and thus will make me convey my knowledge in a more appropriate and relevant manner since societies are different. Currently in America, nutrition is a big problem as people are leading unhealthy lifestyle and it poses a challenge. Very many people are increasingly becoming overweight and those results in health complications and lifestyle diseases. Drug abuse and misuse is also a challenge that I will be tackling as a clinical educator. In the end, the general public will benefit from my knowledge and it will be a success for me considering my personal objectives.
