When you live in your own world you live by your own rules. Sometimes those rules are horrid.
Part of what I do IRL is to evaluate human performance errors. Those occur when someone operates outside of protocols. In most instances errors occur because someone assumes something to be okay and acts on their assumption rather than check the applicable procedure. What they do is also dependent on factors like stress at work or home and sleep.
At the Turpin household, the dad was a Lockheed Engineer. He knew WTF he was doing to the kids and so did the mom. There was no misunderstanding because they hid what was done to the kids for years. Fearing for her life, that girl escaped and brought the authorities to the rescue.
what an interesting job!!!!!
and i still didn't watch the video - and still don't want to LOL
i'll just take your word on it that the dad was a piece of trash! sheesh...
so how in the world do you go to school for that job you have??? what was your major. I'm much more interested in that! hahahaha
In higher risk jobs like military or commercial power production there are huge investments in analyzing human behavior and why it can go awry. At the power plant I work at you’re exposed to all sorts of training on compliance. Also, if you make a mistake you learn about the process first hand.
It all boils down to areas of risk management that few people concern themselves. I learned of risk management in the military, work and during my Masters. Almost a must have when anything can go wrong at work.
when I was in University...I had plans to be a psychiatrist... I was on that path for 3 years until I realized I would have to give a lot of "mommy" time up to dedicate for my career. and I chose to not do that
I know a lot of moms can do both... (and now that my kids are grown I'm happily enjoying pursuing my own passions) but for me... being a great mom required 20 hours a day. hehehe
so... I changed my major to something less intense, (psychology) and graduated with a degree in that.
never regretted that decision.
your job sounds like something I would enjoy hehehe
I like analyzing- minds, problems, situations...etc! lol
It has its ups and downs. I just finished a work period where I was on night shift 12+ hours per day for 1.5 months. I barely saw my family and that sucked a lot. Everyone wanted quick data analyses and reports for their work. It was a nonstop event but damn I got paid for it.
It gets scary too because so much is involved with what I report on.
You made the right decision for your career. I’m glad everything worked out for you. My wife just made a similar decision and left school to focus on her work with our boys, her parents, and herself most importantly.
