Captain Picard Facepalm

I started studying humans instead of primates in tenth grade just to figure out why they were so hateful, and to learn how to deal with them so I could keep up my science studies and music instead of spending my energy and time protecting myself and recovering from whatever the latest nightmare was. Immediately found out that a huge amount of the literature in psychology (back then) was complete bunk. So then I started field-studying the humans :) to find out what was really going on. (They don't like that). But the field is still so screwed up it's not even funny. So many think getting a psych. degree makes them some kind of Guru. I just want to go back to studying animals, way more fun.

But as a counsellor I can maybe try to make a difference.

Oh yeah absolutely! Sorry I didn't mean to sound harsh, I'm just exhausted from dealing with people in the field who are unprofessional and don't actually help people. What's lacking is people who are genuine about making a difference and helping :) You can absolutely, and thank God you're one of them.

please don't be sorry you did not come across as harsh and thankyou for your support for the field I also find this area of study kind of screwed but it is always growing and developing.

Thanks Juantwothree :) I'm glad you're doing it. The more people like you we have, obviously the better it will be. I wish politicians had a clue about funding. (More complaints, I'm burnt out I think :P lol)
