It feels great. I am not going to miss writing papers.
When I saw the 15 or so people getting doctorates, I had a twinge of jealousy and then thought, gee, they must have worked really hard. Tried that, when I was 26 and it almost killed me. Good thing I would flunk the GRE (math) because my department is starting a doctoral program in 2013.
I have one more interview scheduled and hoping to get at least a couple more. Some of the other grads are taking jobs in places with horrible reputations. Basically sweat shops for new therapists working on their licenses. Won't do that. I already know which one I would choose of the two interviews I had Thursday. I drove to the office on Friday and returned the corporate application that I didn't have time to fill out when I was there. I had to list the salary of my last teaching job and am hoping they realize I know I will never make that again, unless I go into private practice. But, since it's a matter of public record, I can't lie. I told them my expected salary is the one which seems to be the going rate. Obviously, money isn't the motivating factor here.
One of the therapists who "took" a couple of my clients from my internship e- mailed me and told me one of them said that I was the "best" therapist he has had... not tooting my own horn, but that meant a lot more than any degree or grade on a paper.2015 Trek Silque SSL
