Professionalism, Aging and doing what you love

I trained in medical imaging right out of high school, abandoned it for computers then landed on lab work for a profession. At times it was pretty repetitive and that's when it took skills more than put a sample in an instrument to get consistent results. Did I love it? Was it a "dream job"? No, but I enjoyed how it kept me busy and the pay was ok. And I never had burnout because I didn't expect to be married to my work.

In this age of "do what you love" I thought I give a peek into a day of eldercare so people can say how much they would need to be paid to do this job for strangers who you don't necessarily like.

Keep in mind, to avoid complaints you really need 3 people, one listening all the time avoid accusations of neglect when demands aren't instantly met. He has physical hearing & vision loss as well as selective hearing.

In Canada, we rely a lot on people from cultures of multigenerational families and duty cultures to take care of the elderly in homes. They are short-staffed, not super well paid, and absorb a lot of verbal abuse. What solution does the "do what you love" advocates propose? My dad has a much younger wife who is able to look after him. Her friends spell her off and helped arrange night care but really it would take 2 people to take care of him in waking hours as he has no sense of time but can do the bathroom by himself. 

Now think of all those people who couldn't even handle not having access to hair cuts. Imagine their level of patience with aging...
