You ever think of a problem but for the life of you can’t think of any solution whatsoever? Well, listen to find out the one on my mind as of late!! Love y’all and hope you have a great day!!
Corey, you speak the truth with this! I took a $15k pay cut (yearly) when I left bedside and administrative nursing to teach nursing way back in 2006. There are just some things worth more than money, primarily happiness and sanity. Teaching is my dream job that combines my love of nursing with my love of teaching. Trimming my material needs and wants to be able to afford the pay cut was absolutely worth it. I believe if you get lucky enough to have the chance to make such a choice and have the guts to take that leap, you never look back. Thanks for this one!!
I'm a Finance Analyst, I don't mind it now that I have great coworkers and bosses, but if money were no option I think I would like to work on a nature preserve or park or something.
It's so nice to hear how much it seems like therapy has helped you build coping mechanisms for positive outlooks, Mr Corey! Legit very happy for you! :D
In regards to making lifelong decisions while the brain is still cooking, it's also deeply nuts that you can instantly accrue tens of thousands(or more) in student loan debt at that age. I'm glad zoomers seem to understand that the college to career pipeline is broken. When millennials were going thru it, it was more like an unfortunate surprise waterslide for us instead of a pipeline.
I say this with the utmost affection and respect...
I a bit disagree. It's been my experience that a very similar line of reasoning gets used to push people who are down into just accepting their lot in life. I am in no way saying that that's what YOU are doing or trying to do. The point is that "just be happy" is a two faced coin. They tell me to "be happy my son has a roof over his head"...but that ignores everything else wrong with the scenario. Things no parent in their right mind would be happy about.
Things that are bad should be recognized as such and addressed without delay but things that are good shouldn't be ignored either.
So I fundamentally agree with the spirit of your post but I think there's maybe a better way to put it that strikes a balance between the two extremes of happy and miserable. "learn to find the joy amidst the sorrow"
This spoke to me so much. I can't stand my job but feel trapped in it because of the lifestyle its built for us, which I'm thankful for, but especially once the kids come along it becomes so much harder to contemplate that change. When I was 21 I feel like a was basically a stick that got thrown into a fast-flowing river.
The music you're using for these is 🔥 by the way, I feel like I'm being life coached.
