What are some of the best career advice you have heard?
🩺Was busy minding my own business, curled up on the sofa, catching up on my favourite show #sweetmagnolias when I heard this 👇🏾 and I had an Aha moment! One of the boys working in the kitchen wanted to know how to become a chef and how much school would cost? So Erick, the chef tells him, he has to be sure it is what he wants as it can be a lonely profession with long hours, leaving no time for a social life let alone family life!
🩺It has to be up there with some of the best career advice out there. Basically what he was saying was that if you are not passionate about something, then choosing it as a career will be a slog! You will tired down doing a job you hate just to pay off the debt you took to study it 🙆🏾♀️😶😭.
🩺I immediately thought of #Nursing (as that's my profession ) and how thankless the work can sometimes feel, especially now with everyone just about hanging in there, with nothing more left to give. Don't get me started on the pay! As much as it has been labelled as a calling by some, even the most charitable, passionate and vocational Nurse is struggling at the moment 😕, questioning how much longer they can hold on for?
🩺But it is not all bleak( believe me). Records show that alot of people have been inspired to take up Nursing, having witnessed how brilliant nurses have been during the pandemic( we have always been brilliant, but we will take our flowers 💐 even if late). All that is great given the huge financial burden one now has to take on to train as a nurse! That makes this 👇🏾 quote even more poignant - 🗨make sure you love it, before going into debt for it 🗨 and if that is the case, then a Huge welcome to you all #studentnurses and aspiring futures nurses into the wonderful, rollercoaster life that is Nursing.
