No Really.

I'm 27. I live with my boyfriend in a largish city in the midwest. I'm a therapist. I work with kids with severe behavioral issues.

If you don't laugh, you're dead.

With the exception of the fly-by-night, low-life snake-oil salesperson, or the seriously misinformed, nobody becomes a therapist to get rich. Therapists make enough money, though, and, in a way, I’m glad we don’t make more. If we did, we’d attract more rotten apples to our profession. Almost all of us are in this work because we want to help. We like people and they like us back. Mary Pipher, Letters to a Young Therapist
