[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 606070, member: 7170"] Actually he knows why he did it, the degree was more so he could process and make sense of his childhood. He was diagnosis ADD @ 4yo, girls abusive x-dad entered his life around 8yo (diagnosis schizophrenia probably a sociopath) and the issues with the girls showed up as babies. According to the couple psychiatrists I've been to the DSM doesn't have a diagnostic code for whatever my problem is. No money or insurance to pay for therapy but they were offering him pell grants & student loans so he went out and got the information to treat himself. His take on my problem was that I have PTSD (nothing post about it its ongoing), adHd & mild Asperger's (is this why nicknacks have to be in odd numbers and my can goods have to be in rows in the cupboard?) Anyway the psychology degree helps him see what is going on with co-workers etc and is going to make him a better manager. My friend once said "Every person on this planet is dealing with their own level of crazy, it's their ability to deal that determines if they need a psychiatrist & medications" and when I look at every person I've ever know I believe this to be true. Wow youngest goes back to school tomorrow and still needs to return & find jeans (grabbed 2 pair didn't fit because I was rushing her UGH) hope she gets out of bed soon (been trying for about 5 hours now). Maybe I'll strip the floors of her room today (machine from 1950's works great but boy is it loud! LOL) Sorry got side tracked I don't think his long term career goals involve his degree at all that was more for him to be ready to move forward and close the door on some things in the past.
