Some people literally can't help it. They may be stressed/anxious, happy or sad. Doesn't matter. They cannot control the physiological reaction. This is what happens to me. Any strong emotion gets me to well up, no matter what that emotion is. U...
I think purecntry09 has some good points... but honestly I think that needs to apply to any career you choose. My mother is a phlebotomist as well, and the nonsense she has to put up with makes me happy I'm not in her shoes. Others I know in variou...
