What career did you switch to once realizing this wasn’t a good fit?
I’ve been in the field for about 6 months and I’m realizing this just isn’t for me long term. I‘ve slipped into a major depressive episode making it hard to think about next steps, never mind having the energy to do more research.
What careers/jobs did you switch into once realizing this field wasn’t meant for you?
Some context: I’ve worked primarily in private childcare outside of ABA. I have my BA in psychology and an RBT cert. I’d love to work with kids, but no longer willing to put myself at risk of high danger on a daily basis. My mental health just isn’t up to it.
I SINCERELY appreciate any advice/tips offered. For those of you sticking with the field, I seriously commend you. It is not easy.
