I think that's basically what she was recommending though? Related fields with animals, she said — that would indicate research and so forth, but that wasn't what he wanted.
Also...I kind of understand what position the teacher is in. I heard from one of my old college teachers about a time he had to recommend a student change their area of study. The teacher was a comic artist, working as a graphic design instructor. In one of his color theory classes, he realized one of his most passionate and dedicated students was color blind. It hurts, yeah, but you can't become a graphic designer if you can't tell one color from the next. Even knowing that student's dedication, he had to say something.
I know it's a bad renta porn story, but just saying that situations like this actually arise IRL and it sucks. ;v;
as a medical student myself...
i felt so heartbroken when i heard that...
medicine isnt my passion but it was my best option...cuz it is sumn i like...
and idk....the amount of hours we put in every single day to memorise stuff and get where we want to be is...is limitless...
ik people who study 18 hours day...
like teachers especially shouldnt say stuff like that..
I mean yes, she did say it, however in worst possible way. And also did not explore other options. If he can only attend females, he can become a obstetrics oriented vet ? like there is a way around things, like i said the medical field is SO broad
So idk why but the way the professor approached him just rubbed me the wrong way. Why are you telling your passionate student to just leave the career they poured so much effort into? Just bc they can't attend male animals? Bitch medical careers are not a one way alley, there is so much other than that. Research also exists? And specialties that don't involve touching and are also extremely helpful.
Anyway idk why im getting mad about this obviously porn oriented renta story tbh.
