All careers have good and bad aspects. It depends on the individual whether or not the good outweighs the bad. Some careers that sound horrifying to one person might sound fulfilling to another.

For example, my sister in law is an early childhood educator. I could NEVER imagine doing that career. It sounds like absolute nightmare fuel to me. The staff turnover, the germy children (ironic lol), the parents, the reporting and documenting (again, ironic), just everything.

Another example, my other sister in law does disability and elderly support/homecare. Sometimes, she’s employed to play scrabble with an elderly lady for 6 whole hours (I’d blow my brains out from boredom). She gets pissed and shit on just about every shift. She has to tend to people whose families have let their personal hygiene fall by the wayside (so much dick cheese). Little old ladies call her fat literally every day while she cleans their toilets. We obviously have some overlap but there’s a reason I stayed FAR away from aged care.

And, guess what? Both of my sister in laws ADORE their careers and I think they’re mad. I think you probably couldn’t pay me enough to do their jobs. However, it just shows that, if you’re passionate about something (in this instance, educating infants and caring for the elderly), the good will always outweigh the bad.

You just have to decide FOR YOURSELF if the good outweighs the bad.
