Haha, yeah, salad dressing and a couple other things on the side! Hey, I'm extremely glad for you and anyone who has found their calling! Understanding the human mind and using one's understanding to help others is a noble profession by all means! I'm just a little burned out from the entry-level jobs that require constant, relentless interaction with and redirection of people, specifically working in a closed-environment like a psych rehab. In my opinion, a master's degree leads to a wider variety of opportunities. Not that it will be any easier, but at least I might have somewhere to retreat to for a moment when things get stressful. I do enjoy counseling, but it's totally possible to do that without it being part of a job. I sometimes fantasize about just having a trade...something that I can become skilled at and can do on my own, with my own hands, like being a mechanic or something.
What's your professional goal?
edit: Yaaawwwwn, goodnight for now! Once again, nice to meet you!
