My friend and fellow professional engineer, married a gal who spent $50,000 in student loans for a Master’s Degree in Art Therapy. Her first job out of grad school was $10/hr answering phones as a suicide prevention hotline! I guess they hired her because of advanced degree in “therapy”...

So I take it ‘art therapy’ is nothing like restoring old paintings and such.

Is it ‘psychological therapy’ for old fogies (like me) who’s been traumatized by the so-called modern art?

I almost got a masters in Art Therapy. I don't know WTH I was thinking. Oh yeah, I do, I didn't feel like working yet.

I am probably the least nurturing person on the planet. I would have made a horrible art therapist, even if I ever found employment. LOL

Believe it or not "Art Therapy" is now becoming a bigger part of the Medical Profession treating things like PTSD and Abused kids and such. Its even being covered under insurance.
