Caregivers.
Is satisfaction the main reason you do your job ？?

I am a caregiver. Yes, I would roughly say that mine is in the challenging category. I chose this job after boldly leaving my previous company, even though I thought that caregivers are not paid well. So far I don't regret it, and I don't want to do any other job. However, people around me say that it is a waste to do this job at such a young age.

You'll get a bad back.
You're young now, so it's fine, but as you get older, it'll start to get to you, and it may interfere with your daily life.

I changed my job to one that offered more money, more positions, and more satisfaction.

In fact, I had held a position with a title, a few times. I just felt mentally tired or empty or whatever you want to call it.... I feel that it is not too back-breaking, and physically it is something that even people who are quite old can work with.
I hear that the nursing care field in Japan is harsh, but I have the impression that the situation here is different.

If you ask me if it is extremely rewarding, it is difficult to answer. It's hard to answer that question, but I vaguely feel that it's nice to be able to help people who are about to end their lives.
Of course, there are many things that are not considered clean (like taking care of the younger ones), but I don't mind it at all because of my experience in early childhood education.

I can't deny that the salary is low, so I'm even willing to work longer hours or do double work if that is difficult.
Maybe I am unusual. I'm not sure.

I had a hard time with a neck injury when a client slipped out of bed and I had to pull her up with the mat. I guess there is a trick to it, but I don't have a strong back to begin with. It still requires a lot of physical strength. I also hit my head when I was pushed.
On the other hand, there was a client who was very easy to work with and we just watched TV together and cooked lunch. We changed care givers one after another to keep the conversation going.
It was a calling for Perko, and good for her if she was satisfied ！.
