Reading Time: 2minutes I believe it is most apt that give a blog post should be on why I like love my profession. I would keep this as brief as possible. Growing up there were several professions I wanted to enter. There were times I wanted to be an actor; later I thought why not the one in charge of the actors; that is the director.
