Suggestions for Improvement[edit]

The introductory paragraph is a bit long and jam-packed with information. There is too much detail in the first few paragraphs to call it a simple overview. In my opinion, the first paragraph is enough to sum up what the profession is all about. This helps the reader make a quick decision on whether this article will be helpful and whether they want to continue reading. The paragraphs following should have a separate section because they start going into the specifics of the field when the first paragraph is only supposed to be a concise summary.
