Genetic Counselors
Research and provide the following about the genetic counselors
Duties and responsibilities: Genetic counselors are trained specialists who determine risk factors for hereditary diseases and disorders in patients. They provide genetic testing and offer education and counseling to patients and their families. A master's degree in the field is required, and some states mandate licensure for the profession.
Salary: Genetic counselors typically earn $49,646-$65,168 annually.
Education: Those interested in the field must complete a master's degree program in genetic counseling. Due to the small number of accredited programs, graduate schools often have a highly selective admission process. Students can prepare for admission with undergraduate courses in chemistry, biology, genetics and psychology. 
Answer: Do you think you would like to be a genetic counselor? Why? Why not?

I Think I wouldn’t because you need a lot of brain to do this and I only have a little. Also because it’s a tough course to do.
