Sure there are some jerks in the human services, same as any other occupation, but you said it yourself it made you "more open minded, tolerant and less quick to judge" three qualities that are absolutely vital to being a good person. Plus, I think if there were points awarded for that sort of thing you should get extra ones for starting that sort of job at 18. There are precious few 18 year olds that can managed to stop being self-absorbed long enough to look out for other people, I certainly couldn't at that age. My point is, nice start on the TYSIC!Lisa Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273745626294070401noreply@blogger.com
