Because your work is not what you imagined

You signed up as a teacher. You thought you’d be teaching children lessons that’d last a lifetime. Mostly, instead, you’re battling to keep children under control.

You signed up as a paramedic. You thought you’d be on the streets saving people’s lives. Mostly, instead, you’re providing taxi rides for non-emergency patients to and from hospitals.

You signed up as a ski instructor. You thought you’d be teaching people to ski. Mostly, instead, you’re providing day care for children under the guise of ski lessons, so that their parents can enjoy the slopes unencumbered.

You signed up as a police officer. You thought you’d be protecting the good people from the bad people. Mostly, instead, you’re dealing with people suffering mental health crises.

You signed up as a journalist. You thought you’d be conducting probing investigations and exposing the truth. Mostly, instead, you’re churning out search-engine-optimized content to serve as click-bait.

Your work is not what you imagined.
