We all have to start somewhere. Most of us are either doctors or nurses, and we all have a lot of experience with discrimination. It’s natural to be defensive about it and to fear the repercussions. But the reality is that the medical system is not going to discriminate against anyone based on who they are or who they are not.
This is true. If you get to the point where you don’t want to be a nurse, you can always leave or get out of the field. But the medical field is not going to discriminate on the basis of race. Its a system that’s based on treating people in a way that is going to give equal opportunity to everyone regardless of their background.
This is the crux of the issue. If you think that the system is discriminatory, then you will go to the ends of the earth to get a job. But you can do that because there are other jobs that are available. You will be able to choose to become a nurse, but you can also take a position in the medical field and go on to do many, many things that are in demand.
The thing is this. What you think is discrimination, is often just people’s way of trying to make life easier. They will discriminate on the basis of a set of categories that are not truly representative of all the different types of people that can be in this country.
So what should people do? Do you want to be a nurse, lawyer, or accountant? If you’re looking for a job that pays well, the most common reason people apply is because of their own self-interest. That is, if you’re looking to work for someone else, your family, or your spouse, you have no reason to want to do that.
Right. And if you want to work for someone who will pay you as much as you are willing to work for, you don’t need to discriminate. That’s the real problem. It’s so hypocritical that people can make that argument, but they can’t make that argument when they’re the ones that discriminate.
A lot of discrimination is based on the fact that people who are in a position to pay you more than you are willing to work for, are. Ive seen this in my work as a human resources consultant. A lot of times the people who are making more than they are willing to work for are just lazy and dont want to do the work. And while some people can get away with lazy, theyre not doing the work, so they cant get away with it.
I think we really need to get into the idea that people who are making more than they are willing to work for are lazy and just want to get rich quick. It’s a sad reality that is unfortunately part of the job description for many people in the medical field. A doctor who makes more than they are willing to work for would have to be very smart and very competent.
I know that I would be doing some serious work if I was a doctor. I have a 2.5 year old daughter, so I make about $38,000 a year, which is not much, but it’s enough to get her through high school and college. I think there are a lot of people who make a lot of money, but they have no compassion for others. They get rich quick, and they don’t care about people.
