"The fact that you don’t see that you were the problem is this scenario is shocking to me. You thought it was okay to belittle a job that was your means and you also thought it necessary to explain that if you had a choice you wouldn’t do that job lol."

The man replied:

"I honestly would love to understand your thought process. You missed the part where i said she asked about my background. She was literally asking the questions. If she didn’t ask, I won’t tell."

@health_basicTip said:

"Never disclose your plans to anyone at your work place. I worked as a career for 3 months before I secured a Senior Phlebotomist Job for 6 months and finally concluded my PLAB. They never knew I was a Doctor or leaving anytime soon.
