5/5/18: The show is taken off youtube. You can watch it on Toggle though. Even though eventually I still went back to science, the social work dream is still precious to me. Although I can’t be a social worker if I want to be a scientist, I will still do volunteer work to ‘fulfil’ the dream I can never attain.
The above show is super nice. Highly recommended although is from Mediacorp LOL.
I hate mediacorp show because of the fake-ness and repetitiveness. Their storylines usually predictable and stupid. But this show is nice though. Although the acting still sucks big time..
I’m just shock at how some people can be so happy over a $200 a month financial aid for the whole family while I survive on more than $200 a month worth of allowance. The world is just so different.
I guess if I really want to be a social worker, I’ve got to see the real world and understand how poorer people live.
And I hope that it is true that those that requires aid will receive them. If not, they go and find loan shark, wouldn’t it be worse?
The show also tells me that if one day, I really go and be a social worker, people gonna be like “Why you choose a job that pays so low?” “You could have gotten more salary if you have stuck with science” “You can help people if you are rich by donating a lot of money” and all the blah blah blah. Then when the day comes, I’ll tell them “because social worker changes people life for the better. What about yours?😏😏”
Not saying other jobs isn’t good but really. Lab technicians is probably what I’ll be with a stupid Diploma in Biomedical Science, and of course starting salary will be higher than social worker but how fruitful the job is? Working behind the scene, doing so much for the patients but in the end when they recover, who gets all the credits? Not that I want to be recognise for being there to help or anything, but working so hard but never getting any appreciations seems pretty terrible.
Plus how much can a lab technician help? Yes you identify the bacteria or virus or whatever, but whether the patient improves or not depends on the doctor entirely. You get no say nor can you help. So yes, I won’t want a job like this.
Of course there are good points about lab technicians larh. But I shall not say because not interested anymore. Can I don’t do internship as a lab technician? I can go MSF do my internship. Don’t want do lab anymore.
