Mental Health Counselor @ Advocate Health Care in Chicago, IL
"I liked helping the people who wanted help, but the people who refused care, and/or acted out violently, greatly decreased from both my job satisfaction, and my ability to assist other patients. It can be a very rewarding field, but it can also be dangerous."
