I was chatting with one of my trainee and she sighed. She told me how life sucks as a student. She lamented about the things she has to go through, explaining her tough times with painful details.
She thinks the future will be filled with better prospects when she starts working. She told me about the things she's gonna do, and the things she's gonna leave behind finally. She looked at me with hope and asked me what I thought of it - if things really get better when I started working.
Seeing her in a sorry state, I tried to assure her. I said yeah, life sucks when I was a student too. And not to worry, because you're right; it will change for the better when you finally join the working force. Because now, life fucks.
I left her in shock. Either from the rude awakening or from the obscenity or both - I dont know.
I should stop being an ass to my trainees.
