    Considering Career Change to Medical Field

    IRStuff, The point is to try things that are low risk and low commitment first. So, he gets another job and 3 months into it, he realizes that that didn't fix anything. Or he realizes his med school pipedream was better just as fantasy. Going to med school might be the cure but god damn it...

    Considering Career Change to Medical Field

    Strucpatholgst, If this was a passion, I would say go all for it if it was feasible without too many sacrifices. It might not be that but often people think it is. I think that before someone does something like this, they really need to figure out what they are missing from their current...

    Career crisis

    IRStuff, A lot of people keep doing something because of money but every year they do that thing, they lost one year of what they could have been doing. Life is too short to waste it for money.

    I was speechless when my manager said “Why do you work hard? Who told you to do that?”

    Some projects are time and expense and on those companies throw bodies on it for profit and the goal is just to create billable hours.

    I was speechless when my manager said “Why do you work hard? Who told you to do that?”

    I am guessing you are at a company that pays by seniority than output. In a place like that, your manager just wants as little turnover as possible. Been there done that. I had managers intentionally turn a blind eye to people leaving work early all the time, as if that made up for career...
