Career Goals
Quote From: renagadeyou, but on the other hand, I have met you many, many times. At one time I had two jobs, it was mandatory. On this second job - there was this co-worker who did not like to work hard - and one nite - we were really busy - he just walked out. So what happened, I just did his job and made sure my position was covered by another competent co-worker. I believe it's called 'Responsibility'.
I don't know how old you are and I am only one person, but thers's a lot of growing up to do. I had to, I survived. As far as the low wage: We all have to start somewhere, I did, and I know you will too.
again, you're making assumptions about me. At least, thats the way you're message is coming across. Who said I don't like to work hard? I'll have you know that I bust my ass off at my job. I pick up other peoples slack, the people who stand around and do NOTHING. And believe me, resturants get insanely busy on the weekends, and I do nothing but run around picking up other peoples slack. I help out my co-workers when they need a hand cause they're very busy as well. My managers have told me countless times how much they like the work I'm doing, and I'm already being promoted. So do not tell me you've met people like me many times, then go onto mention all the lazy people you've worked with. If I didn't like to work hard, I wouldn't have studied my butt off throughout highschool. I wouldn't have done college twice, as well as a MEDICAL COURSE, which requires insane amounts of hard work and discipline, and graduate at 90% because I studied for 6 hours a day, every day. Is that what you would call lazy and irresponsible? If I didn't like to work hard, I wouldn't be going back to school to recieve my BA in the school of social work because as it stands right now, I may never get into the HOSPITAL (the field of work that is my #1 choice, a job that requires HARD WORK), and I don't want to spend my life working for 7 dollars an hour, so I want to push myself even further, get even more education, and WORK HARD at school again.
And yes, you're right, we all start somewhere. I realize that. But god forbid I post on a message board to air my griefs about work (like we ALL do), and then to have some stranger accuse me of being lazy, and not willing to work hard because I said I don't like my job that pays me nothing and that I miss my friends and family because I'm stuck working EVERY single weekend.
