I admire those who can deal with that much emotional distress and trauma. I think that’s the main reason why I’m still debating it. I’ve always been very empathic which I use to help my friends and family, but I don’t think that would be a good thing with a career such as this one 🤔.

@Effloresce No problem, just being me 😊. I grew up in a Mexican neighborhood with gangs and poverty, and that made me decide to become a social worker to help those who are less fortunate and facing similar challenges that I faced.

@iamnikki I did it for the first 5 years of my nursing career and then I decided that I had enough.

@Mamapolo2016 Thanks! 😊

@SW-User Thanks! 😊

@SkeetSkeet You see, I don't know if I could do a job taking care of people's feet. They can pretty, but they can also be pretty gross 😂.
