& I'm waiting
Reality vs Dream
Dreams.. that are no longer existent?
What do I really want to begin with?
2 days of attachment for msw.
Other than the fun part of meeting people and the hc senior, everything was plain information overload. It's a challenging job where you have to learn constantly, think fast, act fast, hence the excitement. But you need to be able to handle stress, firstly, from your colleagues (supervisors), then doctors/mdm team, and lastly, your clients/patients. A lot of training on the job required for the medical conditions part and how do you survive at first not understanding anything, but getting shoot down by everyone because you simply not know? It's a scary thought, and it's not as if it's your fault because it's not even taught anywhere and there isn't a course for that part. Then comes the emotional part of having to do counseling for your patients and the family members. How do you deal with sensitive issues and how to deal with it when patients pass away? Somehow, I think I'm going to have a difficult time for that part. Then the exceeding expectations from people of msws, it's just.. sad.
It's a job where demand is high, hence the steadiness and guarantee of a job. But then again, you don't get paid much for all the long hours you work. It's not as if you're really paid totally peanuts, but honestly, we can earn much more, much faster and achieving more in a job after studying other uni courses.
Stuck. Totally stuck and I don't know what to.
How do you actually know where your passion lies from just seeing what people do? You probably need to try it out yourself for a month or so before you know. But "signing on the dotted line" means 8 years. 4 years of study and 4 years of bond. How am I going to survive if I realise I do not have the passion halfway?
어떻게...?
Why is this all so hard...
