*GASP* An acutal entry?!
So, I feel like actually writing!
I've been trying to figure out for MONTHS what I wanted to do career-wise, and just going in circles with the same ideas, and removing the things that I know I honestly can't do, physically or mentally and whatnot. I was trying to figure out what I could do that plays off of my strengths and interests.
I've had quite a few ideas, for awhile, but then Noel mentioned the medical field to me, specifically, Pediatrics.
I honestly had NEVER considered the medical field before, at all. I'm actually not entirely sure why I hadn't, to be honest.
But the more and more I thought about it, and did research, the more I think I actually want to be a pediatrician. General practice.
It's a great paying job, and it's essentially me doing what I do now... but getting grades in college for it, and paid for it in the future.
Also, pediatrics is not just about physical health, but mental health as well. Thank god, because even if it WERE just about physical, I don't know if I'd ever be able to shut my mouth on the mental aspects.
It's 7-9 years of college, plus 2-3 years of residency. If I get into college in the spring like I want to, that would put me finished with everything in my mid-30's. Not too bad, honestly... that means I'd have at least 30-40 years of making a 6-figure salary... and then if you add in whatever Kyle's going to make, we could be making around $200k a year. Not freakin' bad at ALL.
Now, onto a rant.
Don't act surprised! Is it an LJ from me WITHOUT a rant now and then? ;)
I'm so tired of uneducated folk. Not uneducated by exposure, but those who are uneducated by choice.
Seriously, learn humility. If you find out that you're WRONG, then thank the person who corrected you, and LEARN from it!
Getting defensive and yelling at them about how they should mind their own business or shut the fuck up doesn't do anything but make YOU look stupid and crazy, not to mention ignorant.
If you're wrong, OWN UP TO IT.
Also... something I did backfired, but I'm not sorry it happened. Sometimes when your intentions are taken wrong is when you see someone's true colors, and in this situation, as horrible as it was, it was MUCH better for it to be now than later. But this adds into my last paragraph. Just because you didn't believe me doesn't mean that I'M crazy and arrogant - it means that maybe YOU should listen to your OWN daughter, and actually drop your preconceived notions of who you THINK she is, based off of your failure step-daughters, and maybe actually take the time to learn who she REALLY is instead, and not insult the one person in her life who hasn't used her or abandoned her... like you did, and still want to. Jackass.
By the way, I have a niece now, named Baili.
Chances are, I will never get to see her.
*sigh*
