Because that hunger for power and that greed is what got them there in the first place. Think of it like this: if, let’s say, 1 out of 100 people are power hungry and greedy, and 1 out of 100 people have the ability to do what it takes to get rich (which also gives you power), that means 1 out of 10 000 people will have used their ability to fulfill their power for hunger and their greed. At least temporarily, because power hunger and greed can never be permanently satiated, there’s always a will for more. But that greed and power hunger is what got them into that position of being rich in the first place.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•is it normal for parents to act nice one minute and rude the next?

It’s entirely possible that he’s a narcissist, from what you describe - especially if other people are saying that as well. Mind you, that’s not the important part.
The important part is that this is obviously hurting you. And something tells me this isn’t the only thing that he does that messes you up. Do whatever you can do get out of that household. It ain’t gonna be easy, but it will be worth it. Trust me.

Maybe I’m promoting something well-known here, but Das Boot (the full-length movie, not the newer TV series, I watched a couple of episodes of that and it was pretty terrible) does an amazing job of presenting what it was like in these things.
Older generations: the younger generation is going to shit with their brainrot stuff.
Also the older generations:

Political Memes@lemmy.world•Just a silly wizard show
0·17 days agoExcept that for all of her anti-trans stuff, she never advocated for killing trans people or anything of the sort. Or did I miss something?
EDIT: Holy shit, so many downvotes for an honest and open question? I fully realize that what she advocates for is harmful (which was what I alluded to in my original question), but there’s still quite a difference between that and advocating for the murder of every trans person, jfc.

Memes@lemmy.ml•But lemmy libs say china is the "authoritarian" one 😁
0·27 days agoAh, yes, police in China are only there to serve and protect. They definitely aren’t doing questionable things. Everything you hear to the contrary is just CIA propaganda. Do not believe what you see and hear, only believe what the CCP overlords tell you. The CCP is a miraculous party that only has the interests of its people at heart, and everyone should bow down to it in thankfulness and never question it.



Short answer: no.
Long answer: what 's the worst that could happen? Best case scenario is that you achieve what you set out to achieve. Worst case scenario is that it doesn’t work out and have to go back to nursing - albeit with new knowledge. So even in that situation, you could leverage your knowledge to improve your position.
I know someone who worked in law and switched to the transportation sector (started studying again) at just above 30. Not 46, but not fresh out of high school, either. I met someone yesterday who used to be a restaurant boss and reschooled to be become a train attendant. You would be far from the only person doing something like that - and even if you were - as I said, what’s the worst that could happen? Go for it.
