Have you ever forced yourself to do a course you hate? ?

Question

I think doing a 4-Day St. John first-aid course can enhance my competitveness. But I really hate studying medicine and nursing ( That's why I don't choose them at university ) .

However, I have forced myself to do a first-aid course. Tomorrow is the last day of my course and I've found the first-aid course very HELLISH!

Have I done something not worthwhile?

Answer 1

I think the question is did you get anything out of it...Yes you might not have liked the course but did you get anything useful from the course. There have been plenty of courses that I have taken which I hated but got useful information and there have been coursed where I thought I was going to love but found it to be a complete waste of my time and money. So if you didn't learn anything then yes it was a waste of time for you but I would think that a first aid class would bring some helpful information and considering it's only a 4 day course and not a full semester it really doesn't seem that bad.  

Answer 2

Your whining about 4 days? Try a whole semester.  

Answer 3

if you live in america, be careful when you're using your CPR/first aid skills. If the person ends up dieing while you're trying to resuscitate him/her you can be sued.

Answer 4

It is only 4 days out of your life. You will survive it.

We all have at one time or another, it will help you be more rounded. You did not make a mistake

Answer 5

well, i mean its good you learned it because you never know what could happen and you might use it one day. and if you decide to have kids, i don't know if you do already but you will most likely have to use first aid because they hurt themselves all the time! Its just beneficial.
