I'm studying but my salary isn't going up~ boo hoo

I hear this often, and I see it often.


"Physical therapists and occupational therapists study every day, pay out of their own pockets to attend training sessions on their days off, present at academic conferences, and study to get additional certifications, yet their salaries don't go up. I'm working so hard for my patients! I'm spending my own time outside of work to do my best! I've spent over a million yen on self-improvement!!"

Wonderful.
Truly wonderful.
You're working really hard. Amazing.

But if studying meant your salary would go up, nobody would have a hard time.
If that were the case, everyone would study like crazy, right?
Studying is a means, not an end.

Self-improvement is something you do on your own because:
You want to become a certain kind of person!
You are aiming to be a certain kind of physical therapist!
So you do it of your own volition.

In other words, it's for yourself.

It's to maintain or achieve your own identity.
Saying it's for the patients is actually an afterthought. Or, it's just because it sounds better that way.

Anyway, if you have an ideal image of yourself, study for your own sake.

If you're going to complain about money this and status at work that,
then don't do it. There must be other ways.

In the first place, I believe it's natural for professionals to study and improve themselves every day.

Work is also more interesting when you improve yourself.

It's more fun to be able to cure a patient's pain than not to be able to.
It feels better for me to be able to help someone struggling in life than not to be able to.

That's why,
even if I study~
even if I improve myself~
yay~
poop poop~
my salary doesn't go up~

I don't think that way.

I study in my spare time because it's fun and because I like it.

For me, physical therapy is a weapon to support my family. That's why I hone it. That's all.

By the way, I also got my care manager certification, but that was because I wanted to have a means to support my family even if I lost an arm, and also out of a bit of ambition.

Anyway, is there any profession where you don't need to improve yourself? In every job or career, people who aim for the top use their own time and money to study, right?

That is all!!

By the way, it seems there are services like this in the world, not just for resignation agency services ↓

They say they are working hard as a startup. I know it's hard to talk about salary yourself, but they will do it for you!
There are all sorts of services and jobs in the world!

It would be nice if services that do your work for you, confess your feelings for you, or take a scolding for you, etc., could exist someday (lol
