Yeah, it does suck. But I'm pretty sure counseling is not my thing. I enjoy learning about psychology, the academic side of it, but the applied side isn't as interesting to me. But I wouldn't be able to do any counseling unless I had at the very least a masters degree. A Psych degree is pretty worthless in the clinical psychology field except as a foundation for a higher education.

Wow. That sucks on... a few different levels right there.

It's a program that helps people with disabilities get employment, and that includes giving them money for college. I don't consider myself disabled, but technically I am, so if they want to give me money for it, that's fine by me. :) If you have a "disability" that may interfere with your ability to get a job (which I suppose a stutter might), you qualify.

And the part that blows? Is that as far as the government's concerned I'm not disabled because I can't afford a psychiatrist to confirm my ADD and even though I have a messed up knee that prevents me from standing/walking/moving much without a big metal brace the fact that a surgery I can't get anyone to agree to would fix it means I'm A-OK.

Fucking Arizona.
