Absolutely NOT.

The Cons:

I wouldn't want to be responsible for the mental well-being of others. What a heavy burden.

Nor deal with all of the accompanying drama of being a therapist. Transference...

There is very little margin for error or "off days" and the potential to cause damage to someone is very high.

They have to listen about grief and pain all day.

They have to give a lot of themselves emotionally - and have to "fake it till you make it" with keeping intimate relationships with many clients.

They have to worry about being stalked.

They have days where they wonder if they are really helping anyone. Some clients get worse. Once in a while someone might kill themselves.

Sorry to any therapists out there - it's just not an area I have any interest in.
