So I was hired as an intern one month before i graduated college at a marketing company. The first 4 months I was paid part time doing about 20-25 hours weekly. Month 5 I was promoted to a role where I would need to average 32 hours weekly and I was on a 90 day probationary period. 90 days past and discussions begin about full time status. Couple months later we finally discuss it and I was notified my request for full time status would be submitted and that I could continue to clock my hours and receive holiday pay. I hit my one year anniversary in January with no update on full status change so I start inquiring. 2 weeks ago after months of waiting I was scheduled for a meeting to discuss “role documentation” where I listed all my projects and discuss time it takes etc… this week I get an email stating due to budget constraints I will not be going full time, they want to implement Time doctor due to my remote status , and will revisit full time talks in 6 months. They recently just hired someone before this and it’s giving me a bad feeling. All of a sudden they want to watch my activity and I don’t feel comfortable with it tbh . It’s my personal computer and It’s gonna stress me out having to appear “busy” all the time. Ugh are they finna fire me? Should I just quit?

So long story long my high school aspiration was to be a therapist. I can’t remember why exactly but I was a quiet kid and I’ve always been interested in the mind, human behavior, etc. my junior year I was set up with an internship doing admin work at a therapist office and I enjoyed it but it was cut short due to COVID. Fast forward I go to college and major in marketing. It is a Versatile degree so I chose it and I don’t remember why i decided not to go into psychology (someone probably told me I wouldn’t make money). Fast forward I’m one year post grad after getting my marketing degree and I’ve been working in marketing the past year. The past few months it’s been heavy on my mind to go back to school for mental health counseling. The idea usually comes in spurts but this year specifically it became louder. So, I started researching schools, watching videos on being a therapist, and eventually started applying to schools for the Fall. I can’t help but keep wondering what if I’m making the wrong decision and it’s not for me? The only experience I have is 2 psych classes I took as electives in undergrad. The negative aspects I hear from therapist do scare me but it hasn’t been enough to make me give up on it completely. Are there any therapist who aren’t miserable and burned out? How will I know if this is the career for me?
