It's not like I went into nursing school 100% sure about it anyway. If you want to know the truth, the most appealing thing about nursing for me was the salary. It's not that I don't care aboue people... it's just that I don't want to take care of them. I don't have the patience for people, and if you know me you should have already known that.
Oh, and the second "stupid decision?" I enrolled (and got accepted!) into Veterinary Technician school. The school is called The Vet Tech Institute and it is located in downtown Pittsburgh near the Benedem Center.
Yes, the salaries are world's apart, but I have the patience for puppies and kittens (and bunnies, and horses, and ginuea pigs, ect.) and the compassion to take care of them. Maybe you think its terrible that I have more compassion and patience for animals, but its who I am and that's basically all there is to it.
Pretty much everyone I talk to thinks this is a really stupid decision and maybe it is. But its what I want right now and its what I think I'll be happy doing. And I know the money isn't great, but that doesn't matter. (Because honestly, don't you think that getting to see big puppy eyes all day makes up for it?) And if it doesn't work for me ten years from now, I'll figure something else out.
But this is the decision I made. What's done is done and I cannot be talked out of it. (So you all could probably stop trying now? Maybe? Possibly?)
So, that's my confession. There. It's all out on the table and in the open. And I'll just leave you with this picture of two of the reasons I'm so sure about this. And before you ask, yes, these two are always like this. I'm pretty sure they are madly in love.
