Occupational Guilt

yeah i worked at a clinic that dealt with adhd kids--and i didnt know what the drugs were except ritalin and benzedrene-so i looked up concerta and adderal and i told he doc --your giving kids pure speed? she screamed at me and said studies showed kids do better on medicaton--i quit that job--giving kids pure speed is against my religion

 

Morals?

 

I am a "vegetarian" working at a non-vegetarian resturant. We serve steak and chicken and fish... We have about 3 veggie options (Bruchetta... :drool5..

But, that aside. I love my job. I love it sooo much. I know it's not common.. I think I could be happy working anywhere with half-decent people. But my managers are awesome, the staff are awesome, my hours are awesome, and my pay isn't too bad either. The place is looovely, heaps of regulars, and the customers are sweet.

The thing is, I have this job while I'm at uni. After I get my degree I can pursure my chosen career. And I can't fucking wait.

You definately have a point. I know where you're coming from.

 

I have no religion. I don't need one to have morals and values. But, I'd be ok with the meds if they worked. They are supposed to help these kids focus. The meds don't work. These kids can't let you finish a sentence, & it's impossible for them to sit still. I've seen benadryl work better on them. (We give that out by the bucketload) I'm not the only mental health worker that feels this way either.
What happens, is later on in life they NEED the stimulants to function. Or, they simply cannot even get out of bed. Fuck that.

 

someone said something about veterinarians. working for doctors can be hell. i worked as a vet tech for years and went to school for it. then i realized that vets are just as corrupt as human doctors. one of the reasons i don't work in the field anymore. fuck doctors!

 

no, i've never felt guilty about my job.

the closest thing is when i'm forced to give free food to liars, but it's really not that big of a deal.

personally, i'd rather put a cucumber in my ass...

 

yes sales job where the product i was selling was on like 400 percent markup and complete shit , i quit with a quickness
