Why should certain people feel better than others about their career choices?
A teacher should be grateful for a doctor's knowledge when they find her cancer early, but a doctor should be grateful for a teacher's empathy and patience that allowed her to teach him the very basics that allowed him to advance in the field. Those who can, do, and those who can but don't want to, teach. Everyone is so impressed by titles like "forensic anthropologist" but no one is that impressed by the title "artist". However, the minute you add something in front of the artistic title like "sketch artist" or "physical therapist" instead of just plain therapist, people get impressed. I wonder why? Is it because they believe that it requires no "real life" skills to be a psychologist or a painter? Most people couldn't paint a pretty picture if their life depended on it, they don't have the three dimensional skills to do so.
It just pisses me off. Why can't we all live in peace?
