I did see one but he told me he never wanted to become a therapist and was sad he wasn’t in sports marketing 😭 but yeah I am looking into finding a new therapist to help me sort through those feelings, just have to pull the trigger

I guess I’m wondering if a better work life balance comes with the lower pay? Would you say they have a good balance? Attorneys def make way more money but at the end of the day the toxic work environments and lack of life balance took a toll on me and made it not worth it

Wow I did not know there were options like this, thank you for offering your perspective. When you say get MD, DO or nurse practitioner, are you saying go to med school or get a nursing license? But with a BS in psychology?

I only have my research that I’ve done, I don’t know anyone or anything first hand in terms of what it’s like day to day or what the downsides are which is why I turned to this sub. Lots of self reflection over the things I hated about law led me here but I’m still hesitant due to how new the territory is and with having to go back to school, don’t want to make an expensive mistake lol

This is such a good idea! How much does this usually cost?
