When I was a kid, ( a long time ago ) I wanted to be a nurse. I just loved the idea of helping people.
I am not a nurse. I work in a totally different field and feel very happy about it. As a matter of fact, I can’t imagine doing anything else. What was your dream job when you were a kid
as a kid: an artist
as a teen: a biologist, & then I wanted to help find the cause/cure for cancer after my Mother, A’H was niftar suddenly from brain cancer.
kid: teacher/mommy
now: preschool is too minimum wage – um- what happens when i dont have a dream job but i need one?
An Airline Pilot…although these days its not such a dream job
Mommy. Thats all I ever wanted to be.
Kid: nurse. Always loved caring of others especially babies!
Teen: Social Worker. I’d like to help out others with their emotional problems.
We’ll see what the future will bring…
as a kid i remember that people would say they wanna be the president of the usa…
i dont thnk kids today are even interested!
Besides Mommy and teacher,which I b”h got to be…a graceful dancer and piano player–which I didn’t get to be.
Isn’t there a chazal that says every single person who passes from this world,leaves some dreams unfulfilled?
I can play with one hand,but it’s not “the real thing”.
kid:i wanted to be the only child, now: oh am i glad i’m not…….
Kid: work in medicine, work with hands (making/fixing things)
Present: spend time learning, work with hands (carpentry/handyman)
Right now I am an unlicensed EMT (I passed the course but never got certified in time so I have to re-take the course at some point), work for a handyman, and am working on getting an apprenticeship by a carpenter (oh and I am also in yeshivah for first and second seder)
yossi z. – You mean un-certified. All EMTs are unlicensed.
BTW, why did you take the EMT course?
What do you mean all EMTs are unlicensed?
I took the course to have the knowledge and so when I go to help someone I am not stam a yukkle but rather a certified professional (it doesn’t pay well enough to provide a parnassah though I am quite tempted to join hatzolah once I am allowed to (after shanah rishonah)
I didn’t get certified not due to personal choice rather due to circumstance. I would like to get certified at some point
Noone gets a license, just a certification.
There is nothing wrong with having first aid knowledge by taking a CPR & First Aid course. You don’t need to be an EMT unless you plan on working on an ambulance. I don’t mean to exclude volunteer ambulance services. Until that time, why take an EMT course?
When I was really little I wanted to be s/t in the medical field. As a teen, yes a job in the medical field is well paying usually but I can’t stand the sadness it can involve. Now I want to be a makeup artist, hair stylist, or web designer. I doubt I’ll end up in any of those fields. I like the thought of working from home which usually is something with computers.
The things I kept seeing were more than just CPR/first aid/first responder level. Working on an ambulance unless maybe volunteer would not have worked out (besides the pay issue) so instead I decided to be a non-affiliated unit (though I would still like to work on an ambulance nonetheless)
Yossi -First Aid and First Responder aren’t the same thing.
“The things I kept seeing were more…”
Can you give an example?
General Manager of the METS
I know they aren’t the same thing I was just saying that they were situations which even a first responder can’t take care of (I was one for two summers in the catskills)
Well let’s see … How much can a FR do for bad trauma (ax to the foot/leg, concussion via axe handle/back of the blade, swimming accidents, trips and falls off of bikes onto rocky ground then/and down rocky hills) or how about med assessment cases (though I did do escorts (on foot) for kids who needed to take their meds, I couldn’t be assigned to the kids who due to it being late (they “forgot” to take their meds for too long) had to have the meds brought to them or needed to be transported to a hospital. Here is a common one in the mountains, animal bites or poisoning, … Is this enough? (and yes all of these happened). Oh did I mention this was in a boy scout camp (where these things for some reason seem prone to happening)
YZ – Nothing you posted couldn’t be handled by first aiders, unless you were doing the transport.
Not Rhode Island certified (don’t ask it’s a long story) then again our (RI) EMTs can do more than NY ones (as I said don’t ask RI is a bit cuckoo)
As a girl I had this dream to be a high school teacher. I was so sure that this is my future. That is…until my first model lesson. I saw right away that it’s not for me.
I also had this dream to become a professional photographer but doesn’t look like reality anymore.
Now I have a dream to become a makeup artist. Perhaps one day 🙂
