'Social Contribution Above All': The Journey of a Caregiver After Exploring Ten Different Occupations

Medical equipment, electronic circuits, posting, convenience stores, delivery services—after experiencing more than ten different occupations, I arrived at the role of a caregiver. The constant theme throughout was the thought, 'I don't want others to suffer because I suffered.'
