 Okay, so I've been thinking about this, you know, a bit lately, and I think that it is really important depending on really any career that you're trying to get into. But specifically, since I'm a PA, I'm talking about the health care career, that you kind of ponder these thoughts in your head, and also have your own reasoning as to why or why not health care. Because it can be very rewarding, but there are some things that you definitely need to think about because it could also be, you know, the opposite of rewarding. And so in today's video, I'm going to be giving you three reasons why you should not get into health care. Let's get into the video right now. What's up, you guys? Sit down. Welcome back to my channel. So I just want to like preface this by saying, I love my job. Okay, you guys, there may be times when I don't like my job, but I love my job. I love being a provider. I love seeing like the miracles of life in terms of somebody being on essentially their last leg, I guess you can say, and then being brought back or being assisted in terms of their health. And I like being a part of that. And I like patient care. Okay, so I definitely want to preface these three statements that I'm about to make with that. But on the flip side, there are days when it's hard. Okay, and so I wanted to give you some things that you should think about as a future, insert your career here, okay, whatever it may be. But as a future provider, I definitely feel like these are some things that you should be thinking about. Okay, first and foremost, if you haven't already answered, go ahead and subscribe and join the fan. Okay, I think that the first thing that I'm going to address is something that I've already just stated not too long ago. But my first reasoning in not choosing health care is that it's hard. Now, obviously, there are people going to be like, Oh my gosh, you know, like, the best things in life are hard or they aren't easy and great kudos for you. Good for you. You like to, you know, go for it and you like things hard. So that shows your accomplishment. But that's not for everybody. Okay, and so if you are not the one who wants to struggle to get into a career, then this might not be for you. When it comes to being in health care, it takes a lot of schooling and a lot of dedication. And I'm not only talking about like the schooling and dedication aspect of health care being hard, health care in and of itself, being a health care provider, being a nurse, a PA, a physician, it's difficult. There are going to be days when your patients don't like you and you might not like your patients, you know, like, like, let's be honest about this. There are going to be days when someone in your like health care scope in terms of another provider might say something off the cuff to you and you're like, what? What? Did I know you're not talking to me like that, right? There are going to be days you are like, talk down to by a patient or God forbid a patient attacks you where, you know, the medicine aspect of things just isn't really adding up and isn't making sense because of what's happening around you. And you're going to contemplate on those days, like, why in the world did I choose this career? Okay. And so you understanding your why is important on those days because there are really difficult days when you are working in the hospital system and just in general as a provider and COVID has only compounded that, you know, with respect to burnout. But hey, what is your why? Okay. If you want to have an easy, easy peasy lemon squeezy as my Mimi likes to say, kind of just path and career and life, then you know what? Like this is the same for you. Okay. So that is that's my number one thing that I guess I want to point out to you guys first and foremost. Okay. Another reason why you might not want to get into health care is because sometimes it's all about the dollar sign. Okay. And so there are going to be, there are going to be situations where you're kind of like you're dealing with kind of shortages and, you know, you are the only provider and, you know, you're like getting stressed out and you're getting burnt out. And, you know, there's no respite in sight, right? There's no help on the horizon because your boss or, you know, your hospital system just doesn't have the money to help you in that sense. There are going to be days where it is literally like, hey, you need to just get these patients in and out. And you see that a lot in the urgent care model and even in emergency medicine, like you're, you're trying to kind of expedite where these patients go and how they're seen. And sometimes, sometimes the patient care gets lost. And if you're going into this thinking that, you know, you're not going to have that, like where you're looking at it and you're like, Hey, you know, like, I want to feel fulfilled. And in this particular specialty, and maybe not just career, I don't feel fulfilled. You really should be thinking about that. And when you're, when I'm saying specialty, that's more so for like the NPPA route. Obviously, if you chose to be a physician and you are in a particular specialty and you don't feel fulfilled anymore, and you feel like just a cog in a wheel, it's going to be a little bit more difficult for you to kind of like navigate like, all right, well, what's next? What do I do next? Where do I go next? Because I just spent, you know, 12 years of my life coming to this point. But ultimately, something that you should really think about, because sometimes it is about that bottom dollar when it comes to the higher ups. And if that is not really something that you can deal with at times, this, this, it makes it a lot more difficult. And this might not be for you. And the third thing I want to address is when you make it about the money and your bottom dollar. So if you're getting into this career, and you feel like I want to be a physician or a PA or an NP, because I simply want to make a lot of money. Yeah, that's not going to cut it. That is not going to keep you going. Okay. There are so many things that happen in the healthcare system that will derail those plans for you in terms of like, the money is going to be the one driving force behind this, get attacked by a patient, but once. And I'm pretty sure the money is not going to be enough. Okay. So if you're getting into healthcare solely for the money, don't do it. There's, they're honestly, you guys, when it comes to money, there are so many other jobs out there that are paying the same or even more than healthcare providers in like the business realm in like the project management realm in some of the arts. And so if you're trying to get something that's just for the money, go do something like that. Go get an MBA and go work for a company where you'll be getting paid like $200,000 or $100,000 to be like an office manager or something, you know, like there are jobs like that out there. So if it's about the money, do that. Those are options for you. So really some things that you want to think about things that I've been contemplating, contemplating like, where do I want to go with this career? What do I want to do? What are the things that I wanted to evolve into in terms of what I do with my life? And it's really something that you should be thinking as a future provider. What is your why and maybe what is your why not? All right. Okay. So if you guys haven't already done so, like this video, go ahead and leave me a comment and comment section below on maybe why you think your, your why or your why not might be. Go ahead and subscribe and follow me on Instagram and down PA and on Instagram and get this University. Thank you guys so much for watching. I will talk to you guys next time. Bye.
