"There is NO SHAME in working a job."
Or so they say, but people sure looked - and still look - at me differently, and not in a positive way.
"But, work is worth while. When you see that you have helped someone with a problem that can be rewarding if you have the right perspective. One huge problem today is that so much work seems pointless. It can be hard to see the results or believe they are positive."
I'm actually with you on that. A while ago I've posted about my grandparents which I care for, and that it can be difficult at times. It's unpaid, but it's work nonetheless, and I actually feel needed and rewarded for the care I provide them, that's why I've set sail towards a profession in the healthcare industry. I'm not entirely sure how to translate it, but the general task of the job is to help people with a disability, social-, psychological or drug-related difficulties to have- or get back to leading a sovereign life of their own.
It's not entirely the same as what I do with my grandparents right now, but in a way, it's even better, as I'll help people with problems much greater than those of my grandparents. And I think / hope that I can find the fulfilment and balance I'm looking for in regards to work.
Thanks for your words, though :)

Shame is something YOU feel. It has nothing to do with how other people view you. Don’t let what you do with your life be influenced by what other people think. Or worse what you think other people are thinking.
