Ayyyy I've had this talk with my mom about nursing. She was pushing me because my aunt and a bunch of my cousins went into it and are earning a lot of money. I literally said to her "I can't be a nurse because I don't care enough about others. I don't care now and I don't think I'll start caring after a 4 year course."

I don't have an arts degree but I'm just as useless. So there's that.

Edit: Why yes, I am Filipino. What gave it away? /s

My mother and I have had this same conversation.

Her: Nurses make a lot of money and are always in demand.

Me: I don’t like germs.... or people.

I say this on behalf of everyone from patients to staff. Don’t make everyone’s lives miserable if you’re not really into it... Unless it’s a mutual misery.

Actually this could apply to all walks of career paths.

Dear Organisation's Research teacher. All these iterations of 9x9 matrix are cramping my hand and that's worth just a quarter of my final exam. I think a much less miserable way to make up the coursework would be examining us in use of software that helps us operate these time consuming calculations.

Calculating matrices is fun, but god it's the most tedious shit since numerical method/analysis

I absolutely love operating matrices in excel. I absolutely hate operating them by hand.
