==<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">﻿ <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Her name is Peggy Hess and shes obviously an Ultrsound Technician. She loves her job because she gets to watch babies develop inside the mothers womb. Some positives about her job are she never has long hours, there standard 9-5 shifts. Some negatives are she has to look at a computer screen all day when using the machines. Her job is to take pictures of the inside using the machine. Out of all her college training she says the most important thing she learned was how to use the machines; and the least important was getting her AA at a community college because she doesnt really need to know how to write essays and silly stuff like that. When i asked her if the field is in high demand, she said that theres not enough well qualified people and that they are always looking for staff, which got me all excited because now i know i have a really high chance in making it. She makes $1,200 a week, and $70,000 annually; and she finds it easy to live off of. She required to keep up to date on all certifications and workings of the machines. when i asked if she had a second chance in life would she change her career choice, she replied by strongly saying no because she finds the job very rewarding because she works a lot of the time with happy expecting mothers. ==
