    Yup. And I should say you can find good ones in the U.S., you just never know.

    Mine was from New Zealand and worked with one of their Olympic teams. She never cracked my neck but gently massaged and manipulated it to release a whiplash injury after a car accident.

    For every one of her, there are 20 quacks who claim they can cure cancer with foot baths.





  • So far it’s done well for the past 5 years, but it is harder now to find clients because the economy sucks and everyone is struggling (I’m a psychotherapist in the US). I have to plan for periods of drought, and make sure I keep up with marketing and networking.

    Honestly, in my field, once you get a good reputation, you will be OK. It’s hard starting out, and I got lucky because I started out during COVID. Tons of demand back then, and some of those clients are still with me. Now I get referrals from clients and fellow therapists because I am established.












  • My step son’s first job out of grad school for computer science was Raytheon. Paid well, got him his clearance (which basically guarantees employment as long as you have a pulse). I could tell it bothered him (as in, what they do), but he was very much trying to be a grown-up and pay his student loans and rent and all that. He’s 22, and very independent.

    As soon as he got his clearance, he got another job doing things that aren’t directly related to killing people. Got a nice raise, too. He said the feeling of not working for Raytheon is better than the $10k sign-on bonus they gave him that he now has to pay back. “Worth it.”
