Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I wanted to be a physician. Now I just want a decent paying job to get me and my wife out of poverty. I sometimes still mourn what might have been.
I also don't think I necessarily have the disposition to be a physician. I'm very compassionate and empathetic and I don't think I'd be able to handle it emotionally. I know that sounds like a humblebrag, but it isn't meant to be.
