There always that guy, my job is way worse than yours, it all relative. sounds like you should have chosen another line of work after retiring for racing. 

My job is super easy and even fun most of the time....

 

 

 

Still burned out.

maybe you could spend time trying to understand how others can think differently regarding life choices ? We all have our own beliefs 

I do think about the way others think, but I will never understand the way some people think. 
 

 Unless you’re born wealthy, everyone has to work, except it. Do your best to find something that you can do well and find a boss that you like working for. I get burnout, happens to me, but I don’t get hating and not wanting to go to work. 
 

 My motto has always been, you need to work, learn to love it.  
 

 I trained my ass off when I raced, I learned to love it because it was required for me to be successful, same in life.

Yes you could do with working on understanding people 

 

It's not easy , it's like racing

Nope why ?

It was an NHS joke. Last I read something like 75% of doctors in the NHS were south Asian.

Work sucks. But, poverty is suckier, so I chose the lesser of evils. 🤙 You don't need to love your job to do it. I love my family, so I do things I don't like to do to take care of them.

I was watching the asphalt guys last summer, it was about 110F and I was thinking to myself, I'm damned glad that's not my job.  But there is a reason I don't do that.  When all my highschool friends were skipping class to smoke weed in the parking lot I was in class.  When they were screwing around I was doing homework.  I sold my bike, took out huge loans (because even then white males had little financial assistance in STEM fields) and got a college degree.  It's not how you get rich, but it's how I broke out of extreme poverty.  Neither parent even had a diploma.  Now of course the irs wants me to supplement the income of everyone out in the parking lot smoking dope.

I went to college, but I used asphalt to pay my way. Once I got out, I continued down that path because I was making decent money. 30 years later I’d say I’m doing ok. 
 

 But yes, you are correct, we get a lot of uneducated guys who work hard doing this type of work. Some stay, some don’t.

We have huge diversity , it makes the job pretty hard with communication

 

It's not just the doctors , it's all staff ,cleaners , nurses , everyone

Sounds like you've endured @BBA 's dungeon too then.  It's sucks, but we do it for our families.

It’s not the IRS that wants you to supplement, they’re just enforcement.

Well, it's only Healthcare, not like effective communication is really that important.

You can get mental burnout as well as physical 

 

I've worked in the NHS for 30 years,it's so draining dealing with management and constant change with no obvious reasoning 

"constant change with no obvious reasoning" Bingo! Just a corporate disease for some to justify their jobs. Happens in every organization and will never end.

Can relate to the "becomes a job / burnout" thing. 

I raced for years. No big sponsors. Finally get a partial ride, and then it became "why aren't you hitting the nowheresburg arenacross" (my contract had a specific number of races, and a few can't miss events, and I far exceed it) and "Because it's finals week" wasn't a good enough reason. I was never going to be the next Doug Henry or John Dowd, I was probably more like "local pro, who can run with the big boys on his home turf" at best. But that did suck the fun out of it a bit. 

 

Fast forward 22 years. Now flying for a major airline after 14 years in the Navy (still in reserves). I actually flew a plane for fun for the first time in YEARS, and it was, well, fun. No students, no passengers, not a check ride, just going bombing around in a Cherokee with a local instructor for my rental checkout.
