You asked, does anyone have any negative comments about this field of work? I don't know, this isn't my field. Currently when I fill out forms, I choose "non-profit" as Industry. But if non-profit wasn't an option, I would say something else, of course. There is more to say.
Anyway, I would think that negative comments could be made toward any field and toward any and all branches within any and all industries. But why not focus more on the positive?
I get your point. And it's better to not be naive about the industry you're going into or already in.
But maybe that's just the simple thing you need to know. Just don't be naive and spend a lot of time learning more, growing more, and doing more. And I guess while you are learning, growing, and doing more, you'll find out for yourself what to look out for, what to be cautious about, and how not to be naive in different situations.
Sometimes it's better to say that saying, "... cross that bridge when you get there ..."
It's intriguing to hear, read, and even be inspired by other people's real life experiences, but that might not necessarily literally be relevant to an individual pursuing the field. Everybody has their own positive and negative experiences. And a person may or may not experience the same positive and/or negative things. May come similar, may come exact, or may not come at all.
A lot of negative things can happen in any industry, but why build you're own invisible things that can possibly shape shift into more and more excuses, obstacles, and lack of self-confidence that will only hold you back or slow you down.
In your last post you said, "Hard work and determination are nothing new to me but sometimes people who have the answers are greedy. I guess i cant completely blame them. Valuable knowledge is often a hard thing to gain and harder to share especially when its taken for granted."
Well, I'm not sure about that. Right now, I'm not thinking about people being greedy or finding it hard to share valuable knowledge. Especially in these forums, I noticed a lot of people taking the time to share their valuable knowledge and experiences, sometimes or a lot of times physically looking for the questions they can answer, reaching out to other people, and even saying things like, "...Yoo-hoo,..." well, not necessarily, yoo-hoo, but " ... I'm over here, XYZ questions, ... post them here, ... would like to help... "
One of the things that could be "taken for granted" is the fact that there are people, for example, here that would like to answer questions or casually exchange thoughts, so if anybody has any questions or chat topics at all, it wouldn't be a bad idea to post them here.
