Education: There is no standardized education requirements for HHA. In some states, not even a high school diploma is needed. Other states require HHA to take preparation classes before they begin working. 

the certification requires 75 hours of training and skills testing 

Reflection: No, I don't think I would like to become one because I wouldn't want to be taking care of someone the whole day and changing diapers, despite the fact that it is a great community service and I respect the people that have patients for that type of job. But I don't think it's worth it especially regarding the slightly about minimum wage salary.
