Ok. I will try to explain this.
I paid my way through college by modeling and writing professional
letters for people. Since I have graduated, I am a medium by profession
and I give lectures on the passing. Being a Native American, it seems to
come easy, to help people understand the real concept of death. Sucks
sometimes, but mostly it is a rewarding profession, that has it's own
personal rewards at times.

I love my job! It is very stressful but also rewarding. I work with
adolescents that are comming from the gangs and DOC with severe
behavioral and drug problems. I have been doing this straight out of
college for the last 15 years. The pay is horrible in social services
but the emotional pay off is like no other. There is also never a boring
day~

I am a medical transcriptionist so I type the doctors notes into the
patient's medical records. Have done this for about 25 years, mostly as
a second job though. Worked for the prison system as an adminsitrative
secretary for 17 years before quitting in 2003 to come over here to take
care of my parents (now that job sucks- caring for sick parents, I mean
(guess that wasn't nice but they can get nasty when they get older).
Liked the prison system better than full-time transcription. More
interesting, more duties, lots of variety. Talked to inmate families,
lawyers, and police and helped them resolve issues, felt like I was
accomplishing something. Now I type all day, gets boring a lot of the
time.

Im a substance abuse counselor, is very rewarding, but is also dificult,
I work with mandated patients, from jail and court, family, and criminal
court, some of them don't want the help to stay drugs free and that is
the chalenge, is easy when they are ready to stop and and have a new
clean life
I love my job. I have made lots of mothers happy

Morena, It sounds like you and I do a lot of the same type of work. It
is very rewarding but it can also be frustrating at times. My motto is
"You have no control over anyone but yourself" This works with a lot of
amily members who are the enablers.

you are so right about that, is frustrating when you work hard
with a patient, and their families destroy all that work by enabling
them.

I think the families need just as much help as the addicts do as they
need to learn how to stop enabeling and learn skills to provide healthy
assistance, It is a family issue not just the addicts. I built a web
site for family and friends of addicts and I have over 500 members and
it is just a awesome place for familys and friends to ask and offer
feedback on how they are dealing with it.

How fun beauty, I started nursing school wanting to work with the babies
but as soon as I took a wiff and some of the smells I went into
psychology lol Hats off to you the job you are doing, it is really a
blessing.
