Many professions are more lucrative in one regional area than another; I've moved up to a 1,000 miles at a time to keep myself in coin for the right job.

So it does seem like sort of a sweeping generalization to say that it's "not a lucrative profession" when these observations are specifically about practicing in Massachusetts (and as a therapist who themselves suggest they are not "seasoned"). Where I live, it is on average about a 20-phone call process to locate a therapist who is even taking on new patients, regardless of how good your insurance is, and I'm only a couple of states away. I know my last therapist, just last year, was getting close to $100 in reimbursement for each 45-minute session I spent with him, so even conservatively he'd only need to see 3 clients like me a day to be making twice the annual salary that the blogger reports making. Obviously there's expenses, but 4, 5 clients a day and overhead is a done deal. Not that any one profession can be compared to another, but just in terms of pure math I have to work quite a bit harder for every hundred bucks that I make.

Obviously no one should have to change locations to secure a salary that covers their living expenses. But to be honest I hardly know anyone who hasn't, and I know many who have taken on a 2-hour commute (each way) just to achieve it.
