People in this field need an associate’s degree but employers prefer those who have a bachelor’s degree. Many colleges and universities, vocational–technical institutes, and the Armed Forces offer education and training programs. Many states have a license procedure that includes passing an exam.

I would like to work in this field because I myself am familiar with these kinds of problems.

I wouldn’t like to be one because malpractice can have really bad consequences.
