What is your career/job, and what made you choose this path?

I am an IT manager/Network Administrator. It is a second career for me. I was interested in computers and the job pays well which I really needed because I have a family to support. I have a long term plan of moving to a warmer climate and there are IT jobs just about everywhere.

General/Marine Engineering, I'd been fixing things/taking them apart since I was 10yo farther was an engineer, grandfathers one a blacksmith the other steel mill operator so engineering of one form or another was in my blood.

currently, I work in a super market, in many different departments that I switch back and forth between. however, my “future career” that I am going to school for is nursing, and I chose it because it’s great

Nursing...

Nurses where I am from, are treated horribly. Pay is low, welfare is crap. People have suggested that I be a nurse, but i said no because I have heard firsthand how bad it gets.

Hats off to them though.

[Blackcupcake]

nursing where I live is a great profession with lots of respect as they should have. actually, ironically enough, nurses here do more than doctors in terms of, treating a patients. they’re in first hand contact with the patients, doctors come second, and they only come in when needed.

[xJeremyx]

100% agreed. there's a reason why I am always nice to nurses, after observing a night shift when I was warded for a night. That made me respect the heck outta them. Plus dealing with stupid family members, difficult patients, heavy duty work (especially in geriatric wards).

They really do the heavy lifting.

[Blackcupcake]

yes but thankfully, we do have “tools” to help us not have to carry the full weight on our own. for example, I weigh around 120lbs, they’re no way I would be able to carry a 200lbs patient, even with the help of another nurse, it would not be good for my body and health in the long run, so I’m definitely thankful for those tools

[xJeremyx]

Yeah i can definitely understand. I have received training on supporting patients before (as a medic), and its no easy task without that kind of equipment.

[Blackcupcake]

definitely!

[Blackcupcake]

I’m glad that’s something we can both agree on

[xJeremyx]

Im guessing you support yourself financially now? Since you do ear some money.

[Blackcupcake]

yes I do

[xJeremyx]

Man. Puts me to shame. I was self-sufficient at one point, but after quitting my job i have had to rely somewhat on my parents, since I am still studying. I still do work, but it isn't enough. 🙁

[Blackcupcake]

well that’s not a bad thing, you’re working towards becoming independent, that is a good and admirable thing. so keep up the good work

[xJeremyx]

Yeah, I will try. Thanks. I've been feeling kinda guilty because of that reliance on my parents.

You have a kind, compassionate heart. Don't let that die. The world needs more people like that.

[Blackcupcake]

you don’t have to feel bad, I’m sure they’re happy to help as much as they can, and of course, you’ll be there to help them if they ever need once you’re economically stable right?🙂

thank you, right back at you

[xJeremyx]

Well the whole reason why I am where I am at today, is because od them, learning from them, and their provision. So of course I will give back to them in the future.

Thanks for the encouragement. Needed it. 😁

[Blackcupcake]

that’s great! goodluck🙂

[xJeremyx]

All the best!
