I heard it said that the biggest whackjobs are in the “psych” business.
(well, that and queers)
You are VERY correct in your assessment.
I worked in a psych hospital for 5 years. You are not wrong. Multiple queers, a transitioning “man”, plenty of drugs flung around to solve patients problems, and nearly as many personality disorders with the staff as the patients. At least 1/3 if not 1/2 the staff had some history.
I’m sure this “professional”, has plenty of his own issues going on.
It takes a crazy person to know a crazy person.
I was a headhunter for a major online university with campuses everywhere. I saw first hand what kooks all these people were. I couldn’t tell you how many vitaes I ‘round filed’. I had them coming out my ears, and even after I would tell them that we weren’t hiring anyone in their field they wouldn’t leave me alone.
True. Those who are self-aware enough to know that they have psychological issues are very much drawn to the major, so they can help themselves understand what is wrong with them, and maybe make a decent career out of helping others do the same.
Very few people without psychological problems would want to spend a lifetime dealing with those who have these issues. It's a very difficult road to go down, with an almost-zero success or recovery rate.
