Demand or need for this profession 
The employment outlook for medical illustrators is good due to the highly specialized nature of work and the relatively limited numbers of medical illustrators graduating every year  

Reflection 
This career does interest me because it includes two of my favorite subjects, art and science. I'm stuck between going into the arts: photography, writing, painting and the sciences: that includes medicine. With this career i can do both things i love at the same time. Ill consider this career because if i do work hard for it, ill never have to work a day in my life.
