Afternoon Storms, then Clearing| E.T. Eventing |
| Eve - I’ve thought about therapy but then considered the way clinics operate. I feel like I wouldn’t be able to help people because I’d be operating under the systems of the masses - once again instructed to only fix the symptoms and only use specific knowledge. Maybe if it was my own clinic. I just feel like it has a lot of the same corruption as medicine. |

| zrek - (lol yeah not surprised); even if it's not fixing society, it means the world to the person whose world you touch. and those butterfly effect ripples make all the difference in the end, even if we can't see the impacts and results |
| The Lazy L |
| I borderline hate getting single W SH colts cause their just good enough to feel bad for gelding and throwing in with the rest of my show horses, but not good enough to actually use for anything |
| Cadence Farms |
| Social work can be many different things. You could work for a shelter, such a case manager/social worker. Counseling, Resident Support. Or you could get more into the medical field. My sister is a psychologist at a hospital. She did social work before that. She has a masters in psychology. |
| E.T. Eventing |
| Gladius - (autocorrect wants to call you Gladys) thank you, it’s difficult not to treat it as if I am committing to my life’s work - the intensity of it all seems to make it that way. Sometimes I feel like even when I’m trying to do good in the spheres I know I’m only fixing the symptoms of a broken society rather than fixing it at the source. It’s rather draining and makes things feel hopeless. I hope things can change for the better faster than I assume. |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| honestly the most important thing: do good in the spheres you're part of now, where you have power and control to. we aren't all going to make massive change, but together we can get there with multitudes of little changes |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| zrek - I know how scary that can be, and I've been there. I will say you absolutely don't have to commit to your "life's work" right this instant. that's why keeping your experiences varied and your eyes open is so important. the thing you least expect to be what gives you meaning could in fact end up being the thing you really enjoy. and "career" changes can come anytime, anywhere. I also hear what you're saying about society--it's tough out there. but there are good people, who share your values; you just have to dig through the crap to find them, which is of course easier said than done |
| The Feral Equine |
| Its the biggest pain in the butt. My boss is very old school and that's the only way we can send records to other clinics |
| E.T. Eventing |
| Eve - I did think of social work. What positions out there pay a working wage? If I’d be doing it as my main source of living income. |
