And it was just this unknown.

And it would be like a year, a year out.

And I remember thinking, OK, what can I what can I do about it?

And then as luck would have it, the National Bank of Canada just posted this flyer in our high school saying, hey, we're hiring high school interns to be a bank teller.

And I remember, oh, that like I and of course, it was going to be minimum wage.

But I I thought that that could be a lifeline.

But it was funny because the class I hated the most in high school was accounting.

So I don't know if I'll be any good at it at all.

But I signed up to be a bank teller.

And that ended up being such a great decision because I worked all summer, saved up.

And then actually, I was able to work as a bank teller on the weekends.

So like, yeah, well, I would go to school Monday to Friday and then I'm tired to be a bank teller.

And that ended up being this lifeline that enabled me to, you know, like pay for all my school expenses.

And, you know, we talked about the year 2000 dot com crash.

Then when folks weren't hiring as much interns, actually, I continued being a bank teller for two years.

And so, but...

But that was the one action I felt I could take that was within my control to try to counter this fear I have of if I'm really going to go down this path, I don't even know if I could afford to go to school.

So that's probably my other advice of growth mindset and the source of frustration or anxiety.

When you're really good and proficient at what you do, you're kind of at peak, you know, like maximum efficiency.
