My T told me she was a nurse, and worked in the medical field for 25+ yrs before someone told her she needed to be a therapist. She said she was always helping and giving advice to others, so why not get paid for it? And she said that there needs to be more therapists out there who are in the business because of the people, not just the money. And she added that I would make a great therapist. I have been considering about majoring in Psychology for 3 years now, because I can relate so much to the field, and the medical aspect of it fascinates me!
