What job would you do for free?

Hello Lovely Readers,

A question I have asked myself: “What job would I do for free if I could?” Have you ever asked yourself that question?

Many of us probably have a hobby we would love to turn into a profession, or something we currently do for work that we deeply love and have told ourselves, “If I could do this for free, I would.”

If I had to do a job for free, it would be providing therapy (mental health). I’m not a licensed therapist, and I’m not a psychologist, but I live, breathe, and sleep mental health, okay? I LOVE psychology and everything that falls under the umbrella of psychology.

If I could be a philosopher, I would! I know I can go to college and get a degree, but we spend tons of money on unnecessary classes that don’t relate to what we originally signed up for. We’ll discuss this topic later.

Anyway, free therapy is what I would do. I enjoy hearing people’s struggles and seeing where I can be of help. I love seeing people grow over time and watching them flourish into the person they were meant to be. For those who want the help, they should not have to wait until “they have the money” to seek therapy. If anything, that can steer a person away from seeking the professional help they want and need.

Also, for some people, depending on their insurance, they have to wait to get approved. If someone is seeking help, they should not have to wait to “get the money” or “be approved” to be heard about something that can be so detrimental.

There have been people who have died by suicide or caused harm to themselves or someone else because they felt therapy or professional help was so out of reach, too expensive, or they simply didn’t know where to start. I can go on and on about it. And I still have SO MUCH more to learn.

But psychology is something I’ll never get tired of learning about. If anyone in the mental health field would like to share more knowledge, please do. Again, I love learning about psychology. I want to hear your perspective on this matter and maybe learn more about what goes on behind the scenes when providing therapy.

For everyone else, I would love to hear what job you would do for free. Remember, Everything’s Otay!
