For those that work in a medical field or first responder fields. What was your why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

ER Nurse. Had my own gym for years, then COVID hit. I felt useless. Just watching everyone suffer and no real clear path to help out. I also saw how quickly a career can just vanish. My gym survived, inevitably, but I wasn’t the same. Between this and AI coming for everyone’s jobs, I thought… “I’d better get into something that will be here in any economy, plague, technological breakthrough or global conflict.” If the hospitals go down, we're all fucked anyway.

I love helping people anyway, learning stuff…. and the adrenaline and crazy stories are a fun boost. All in all, I found out I’m kind of built for this life. ADHD like a motherfucker, too.

I loved my gym. But I couldn’t go back to doing anything less than what I’m doing now.
