“Long hours, grieving families, tragic/horrific deaths, physical labor, forever short-staffed, and bad pay (unless you’re a business owner). I love my job, and it can be incredibly rewarding, but I think most of us just like the abuse for some reason.” —Libitina13 “We probably see more disgusting and potentially traumatizing things in the first few months than most people see in their entire lives.” —BadReligionJr “I used to clean otter pens!

You’re also a stress toy for some patients, families, and doctors because they feel like crap. The pay sucks. There are weird hours, and we’re understaffed all the time.” —SuperArppis —LazarusKing “Time to sell coconut milk to tourists on a beach in Bali…but I wouldn’t recommend it.” —throw123454321purple
