Today, I needed to job shadow someone for my winter break career project. Not finding someone to take me along to their job, my mom suggested shadowing my dad. Not wanting to hurt his feelings, I went with him. All day I sat and helped him test human poop samples for parasites. Some was diarrhea. FML

The study of poop parasites has probably saved more lives than all the rest of medicine combined. The study of public health is highly cost effective and makes life immeasurably more enjoyable. YDI for not knowing that even though that is what your father does for a living. Give him my thanks.

Actually very very good point. Yeah - you can get category three pathogens in enterics, so yeah - duh. This is likely rubbish, although if there was a teaching microscope then I suppose it could happen.

You should learn to type like an adult. ("Adult" does not need to have a capital first letter unless it's at the start of the sentence). Anyway, at least the OP doesn't need to actually do the job she's shadowing.

Yes, please learn to communicate like an adult. It says on your profile you're married, so in theory you should be mature enough to not be so grossed out by feces. I'm fourteen and I don't care that much, especially since what her dad does saves lives.

I don't think marriage has ANYTHING to do with how someone gets grossed out by feces. I have a major problem with most bodily functions. I just don't like them, I find them messy and gross. That doesn't mean I'm immature.

I'm not saying you have to fall in love with the stuff, but you shouldn't be so grossed out that it causes you to type like a preteen.

It's good experience! And it's science! Seriously, I know poo isn't pleasant, but it's a part of life, and learning how to tolerate doing unpleasant things is better working experience than, say, spending a day as a lollipop tester!
