      well that is why everyones dream job was to be something well paying so they dont have to be the 80% of ppl in society that is slaving away lol, (no child thinks of that though and just pick something cool its just an underlying explanation, the society is build upon a race to motivate people to contribute to the capitalist countries owned by CEOs rich pedos war profiteers and more)

    Always wanted to become a doctor, but I sucked at school and became a paramedic instead. Now I’m glad that I didn’t because a) every doctor I know hates their job and warns you against going to med school and b) I’m yearning to get out of the medical field altogether for multiple reasons. So I’m glad it didn’t work out.
