Oh crikey mate. Hope you’re getting better now.

Sorry about the bad joke, i couldn’t resist. I’m doing well myself. What do you do for work?

Ahh, I’m always up for a laugh.

I work disability support, which is really rewarding a lot of the time. I love helping people and giving people a reason to laugh…

How about you? What do you do?

Disability support is wonderful. It’s honourable of you to do that even with the relatively low wages that come along with it - I mean i don’t know about Australia, but salaries aren’t awfully high in a lot of countries. How do you manage?

I’m still a student; I’m studying psychology. I’m still thinking about whether i want to go to grad school or pivot into something else.

It’s a rough job.

Kind people who want to help others rarely do so for the money, and employers know that. I’m not getting a great wage but it’s better than the minimum which is lovely - but we do get the minimum we can possibly be paid…

My wife is a teacher, too… Talk about under appreciated.

Psychology is fun to look into… What’d be the end result if you furthered your psychology study? What’d be your goal for your career?

What if you do change? What next?

I’ve rarely stuck with any line of work over 3 years and I’ve learned a lot by working the variety of jobs I’ve had, but can never expect decent pay sadly.
