parents pressured me so heavily to join medical school though i hated it with a passion

i gave up my career in a place that i love to join

eveyrone kept saying it would get better but it doesnt

m3 sucks m4 sucks studying all the time just sucks. feeling so so so so sos so so so low.

now my parents say it was "my idea" goddammit

i hate them so much. (asian parents). they literally used to call me multiple times a day to ask me when i was applying to medical school

anytime i told them about a non medical interest i had they were so dismissive. when not dismissive they said i could follow that as a hobby

literally lost a relationship with the man that i wanted to be with because i had to go to a medical school in a different state. now im in a state that i hate. doing something i hate every day.

some people think its a blessing to be able to study medicine and they genuinely enjoy it. they genuinely wish they could do more in surgery rotations or in clasess. they want to do proceudre they want to eb taught. i just want to do the bare fucking minimum

doing a shitty job that you hate always sucks but hey at least you work 40-60 hour weeks and generally at least get one day off a week. but working every fucking day doing something you hate with no end is site really fucking sucks and i cant tell anyone this irl because i still need to "match" into residnecy and pretend i love this shit but it all fucking sucks

Sorry, this

Listened to the whole podcast. The post below is meant to be an apolitical critique of her perspectives on business/hiring individuals. But question #1 WHY IS SHE GIVING THIS PODCAST NOW?

she mentioned that she hires people who have "agency" (fine) ,are ultimately "good people" (ok) and have a lot of "street smarts" (how can she tell?)

I just felt her hriign strategy just really spoke to the privelige she had.

(1) If you grew up in such immense privelige, honey you DO NOT HAVE street smarts. You never grew up on the streets, so you cannot assess for them. You may have board room smarts

(2) Hiring good people is so priveliged. anyone else who has nothing knows the best thing to do is to hire "scrappy"/competent people who can roughly maintain a positive environment, even if you don't like them... business is not friendship and should not be treated as such... idrk why we needed to listen to her business advice when it is clear that if the average joe implemented the same strategies they would NOT be successful. her strategies only work if you already come from money.
