Medical requirements

We love the reminder that I'll probably never be able to do my dream job </3

It's all well and good people saying that you can do anything that you set your mind to

Except you can't. Because some jobs do have requirements that you can't influence whether you meet or not. 

At this moment in time, I'd need to have a more in depth medical evaluation to get a class 3 medical certificate (which is required to become an air traffic controller, my dream) due to my physical health and history of sh. I would probably just about pass it right now. If my health follows the same track as many people with my conditions, I probably won't meet the criteria due to the high likelihood of me having recurrent syncope episodes and other issues in the future, but hey, at least it's motivation for me to take care of myself so I don't lower my baseline I guess

I get that the requirements are there for a reason but it's still upsetting that my job options in the aviation industry will be so limited (they already are before my health gets worse)
