From a young age I knew I wanted to work with kids. Shortly after graduating college, I made that dream come true. I managed to land a job at the local children's hospital. To everyone's surprise, I didn't last a week on the job.

Whenever people ask what pushed me to quit, I tell them straight up: I couldn't handle all the screaming and crying. They all laugh and tell me that's just part of the experience. You have to get used to that when you work with kids.

Their laughter quickly stops when I tell them I was working in the morgue.
