[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have absolutely zero interest in other people’s problems, but I’m slowing starting to realize that being a self-employed therapist might just be the best job ever.

I have an acquaintance who is not too bright (has a BA in Visual Arts from a mid-tier state school) who went to some CUNY school for a Master’s in Social Work. She charges $250/hr to listen to rich New Yorkers complain about their problems and is usually fully booked. She doesn’t have to deal with co-worker/employee/manager BS because she’s self-employed, can schedule her appointments around her kids’ schedules, works completely remotely, and has consistently made a profit of $200k/year for the past few years.

This is way better than any lawyer or project manager job. Are there any therapists on here? Is the job really the cushy lay-up I’m making it out to be? Thanks.[/quote]

Its just a profession which pays bills and gives you opportunity to dress up and get out of the house and socialize with some colleagues. It also gives good stories to tell in parties. If you are good and lucky, you may help some people but majority just uses you as a sound board and does what they want.[/quote]
