Medicine Is Tough, So Why Do People Go Into It?

If you want a cushy career with plenty of benefits, you have a lot of options open to you. Insurance brokers, bankers, and legal professionals have relatively easy work once they get the hang of it, and they earn good money.

So what’s the upside? Why are people going into medicine in increasingly high numbers? Let’s take a look at some of the reasons.

3 Careers For Empathetic People

Empathy is a quality that is highly prized and – it sometimes feels – all too rarely shown. In truth, it is a character trait that can often be a weakness, not because it’s a bad thing to be, but because it makes you vulnerable.

Too frustrating, and so the list goes on.

Even jobs which from the outside seem ideal for empathetic people might be a step too far. The idea of becoming a veterinarian or a nurse may seem ideal to begin with, but for someone who fully feels their emotions and those of others, they can be heartbreaking on a daily basis.

Stop Neglecting Your Health In The Workplace

This may come as a shock: Desk jobs can significantly shorten your life expectancy. It is time for a wake-up call. Your workplace can affect your physical and mental health in ways you may not realize.

Indoor air quality, for instance, can be a source of worries. Did you know that the office air could be dirtier than the air in the street? Just because you can’t see pollution and harmful particles, it doesn’t mean they are not there. Heavy workload is another common issue that can contribute to damaging your work/life balance.

Overworked professionals feel isolated from any supportive network, either friends or relatives. They are also more vulnerable to burnout and nervous breakdown. Unfortunately, as an employee, both air quality and workload are out of your control.

With the rise in working from home, it’s even more important to take your health seriously. However, there are healthy choices that you can make for yourself to make your experience of the workplace healthier.
