any retard can be a family doctor.

keeping it real i remember this time when i went to the dr with shortness of breath and coughs.
ER doctor told me it was bronchopneumonia. gave me antibiotics, corticoids, inhalers...
after a week nothing changed.
i went to me family doctor for a second opinion his diagnostic was asthma and his treatment stop smoking (i haven'r smoked  aday i my life) and use inhalers. I told him i haven't been asthmatic ever.
Pissed and went to a private doctor (pneumologist) who run lots of expensive test (MRIs, spirometries and performance tests) and told me it was neither asthma or bronchopneumocia that my lungs where totally normal and clean but he had no explanation.

short story it was an effect of anxiety. three doctors had no clue. ofcourse i avoid doctos like a plague now.

we are function, we exist to contribute, and we re completely interconnected with everything that surrounds us. If we cant contribute we feel useless.

some people love to feel useless then

Once you are past the first 4 years of Medschool you'll graduate no matter what. Lots of yearmates of mine I wouldn't consult even if my life depended on it...

I would say over 3/4 of the MD's  I went to school with had zero business in the field!  Like you, scares the piss out of me!

No, I am underpaid. Fucking economy

[david94]

I'm still a student and I will have my master degree in 1 year but I know I'm condemned to hate my job.
Maybe I will work in an advertising agency or something like that and will earn between 50 000 and 70 000$/ year, but I know I will hate it like millions of students who are only studying in hopping of becoming rich without any passion.
No matter what I will do in the future, I hate to wake up at 6am, taking the fucking train with smelly people, being stuck in front of my computer during 8 or 9 hours a day, receiving orders, having objectives who will make me more stressed and so more watery and fucking my private life for a shitty boss who will think that becoming friendly with me will help me to lick his balls with more enthusiasm.
Money is the only reason I will be resigned to support this life, but I still prefer to do boring tasks during the rest of my life and being well paid rather than not.
That's why work is remunerated. If not, trains would be empty until 1pm.

being a student was aewsome.   always get educated during the recession!

What do you study? Something with designing graphics or something ?

[david94]

What do you study? Something with designing graphics or something ?

No. I study the world of media and  communication. I will have to do internal/external analysis of the company who wants to advertise, finding the good medias to communicate, when is it better to communicate, and with a predefined budget.
I have been doing that since  last October with fake or real companies and that's horrible.
I'm a creative person, I like to draw or create comic strips but I know that doesn't make you rich so I prefer to do that besides of my studies.

I remember back in the day my American cousin just refused to believe that here in Holland the government actually gave us 6 yrs of scholarship no matter what. If you finished all the exams in 4 yrs, which wasn't that hard, you could just party and lift weights for the other 2 yrs.....

Today it's not like that anymore, of course.

My wife once told me that a job/career is something you can tolerate doing each day and that's it.  Those that "loooooooove" what they do for a living are in the extreme minority. 

[Henda]

used to love my job,have been self employed for 5 years doing groundworks but latley things have been shit, had a run of low paying useless jobs, pisses you off when you are laying a patio for some stuck up piece of shit who wangled down the price so your making pennies with his large new house and 2012 model bmw while you drive home in your battered 12 year old van to your shitty little terraced house on a stinking street

[AlphaMaleDawg]

I agree. You just need to tolerate it. I am sick and tired of my family telling me to try finding jobs that I "love" or "enjoy". That shit just doesn't exist unless you have 10+ years experience at something.

i wish i still lived in moms basement.  i had a weight bench, guitar corner, bed, stereo, tv... dinner arrived at 6 pm... no rent.. that was the life.

NO squat rack?

I can relate to that, dude. Plus the laundry was taken care of...

I wish I was good enough to play in the NBA (i used to ball when i was skinny) or wish my HS had a football team and I was big then. Either that or I wish I could get paid to play video games, which is my closet hobby no one is supposed to know about

My cousin does that, he is fresh outta college trying to find a job

He says you get paid like 9.75 per hr and you begin to hate video games after a while

I think only the magazine writers and reviewers get any kind of decent pay doing this

yea that doesn't surprise me. 9.75 per hour is not good for someone with a degree. being a magazine writer would be a dream job. I really wish I got into journalism because I actually am a very good and articulate writer when I need to be.

The last person here to make that claim was Tom.   

If you are “very good and articulate” walk the walk; don’t talk the talk.
