There are decisions that can direct your life and that sometimes you take them because someone inspired you or told you that it could be good for you in your youth. That happened to Daniel Zaragoza, a plumber, who has gone viral for telling how he chose to be a plumber, “that important decision” of which he realized a few years ago, he explains.
“I was 15 years old, I was doing a professional electronics training, I didn’t like anything, I was very lost, I didn’t know what I wanted to do and they were working in my house and the mason said: ‘The plumber is the one who earns the most money of the work,'” he explained in a video of his own Tiktok channel (@lavidaesparalosvalientes), stating that with that phrase they told him he had clear it: I have to work on something, I’m going to make a plumber. ”
No dreams of helping others, no manual vocation. The protagonist himself admits it without hairs in the tongue: “There was not a vocation apex. I accepted that I had to work on something simply for money and that I was going to dedicate to that more than 40 years of my life.” A confession that many young people will understand too well, because, although it is not said so much, the economic motive weighs, and much, when you have to choose future.
Its history puts the focus on an awkward reality: the pressure to decide what to do with your life being almost a kid, many times without information or time to think about it, only guided by what it seems that it gives more pasta. The plumber gets sincere and puts in words what so many times is silent: sometimes the future is decided in five minutes and for random comments.
Does it sound to you? How many have ended in your profession for money? How many others do not have sought what really filled them? There are many who are surely represented in Daniel, who exercises one of the professions that are being lost most today.
