Oh golly, I scored a 42! I actually thought I would score more, working in Psych AND in a county jail. The potential for feeling used and abused is quite high in this profession, but I mostly LIKE my job and all it's varied components. That's gotta be a plus. And we just gotta stop and smell the flowers.

Hi Josie, I did this quiz that you posted and got a 10 - YAY. I am lucky, I have the best job. I just hope in this economy that I get to keep it.
I have had more home stress lately, deep breaths and reading are getting me through that. So far no cast iron skillet. ;p
Thanks,
sue
