I think many people go into 'psychology' for the wrong reasons, maybe some feel the right reasons? I'm not sure. ie. Maybe with fanciful ideas that they can cure others! Or do the psychology degree to help themselves rather than helping others. Here in the UK there are about 55,000 psychologists but only about 12,000 are practicing psychotherapy. That's an awful lot that fall on the way side.

I think some go into it for the money, top chartered psychologists get paid heaps of money and then they can become obnoxious. I'm a little psychologist, I have no wanting to earn big bucks (pounds) I just enjoy helping people. Sometimes I enjoy it too much and overwork myself, simply because there is a drive in me that would like to do this 24 - 7!!

Yeah, I do think the right reasons for wanting to be a psychologist have to be there in the first place.
