I was quite gifted in math and problem solving, but when I went to my guidance counselor for suggestions career wise, he said be a teacher or a nurse. I became a nurse and hated it. I wish I had pursued something that used my math skills. My father, and younger brother and sister all were engineers.
I couldn’t stand the site of blood and I fainted with bad smells. Should never have been a nurse. Was a financial advisor for 20 years. He told all girls to be a teacher or a nurse.
Very old fashioned. A lot of nurses and teaches must have come from your school.
Oww, why Judy you didn’t follow yourself desires?
I didn’t know what they were Delia. That was why I went to the guidance counselor!
Oh no, that’s too bad. What did you hate about nursing? I imagine the hours were pretty gruelling, not to mention the stress of being in contact with so much trauma. I wonder what made the counsellor suggest nursing.
