Ah, but see that's why I love the field. In a weird way, working with the absolute worst kind of people is pleasing, as it essentially confirms every one of my own personal beliefs about human nature. Working in this setting, I find that the resulting pessimism is not really a result of working in the field (as it usually is for most others), but an extension of my own personality. It's a very appropriate match, so to speak; this is partially what I alluded to earlier in this thread when I mentioned I was already crazy before I began work on the topic of psychopathy. I feel like a mortician in a way, comfortable and at home around the darkest aspects of the mind the way a mortician is comfortable around death. I'm not a psychopath myself (I've been tested), but my personality meshes well with the subject matter. I guess most of my negative feelings concerning the area come from the natural aspects of being over-worked and lacking sleep. But I can never bear to take more than a few hours away from it all before I'm drawn back in. I love the work I do, and it's a good match.

The elf pic you're seeing was commissioned by a store owner who wishes to create a token set for M:tG. This in particular is meant as an Elf Knight token put by the Selesnya Charm card. You can see the Selesnya symbol clearly in the shoulderpad, a Ravnican guild. Selesnya elves, each and every single one, have pointy ears. Did my homework with this one, don't worry.
I probably shouldn't call that cute I'm here since high school (or rather Gymnasium, the german equivalent) days, too, after all.
I can pretty much confirm all of these. I'm psychologist too, but I work at human resources, reading applications and curriculum, making appointments and interviews, applying psychological tests and so on, trying to detect what are the abilities of a candidates, and what are their real abilities, their personality and how they would fit (or not) into the company. In a sense is similar to clinical as you're trying to analysis an individual to detect what lies behind the suit, but, in theory, the people I meet are well adjusted functional persons. However, plenty of times I meet people who are insufferable. Some have valid reasons, as they really need the job and have a strong motivation to learn the ropes of the trade (unfortunately, our client want people who already have solid experience in the field, they won't spend a penny on anything, but instructing about their own brand and procedures; is hard to cut off someone who you know will be an excellent employee, but who can't be hired because reasons out of your control), while some others are just jerks who think they deserve a management position because they said so. Then we have the clients. Can you imagine how hard is to deal with a guy who doesn't understand why you haven't hired a programmer senior to work for him? No, they won't understand offering a salary that is below half what other people with the same experience earn doesn't help, neither will understand demanding to work 60+ hr per week is not a "reasonable schedule", or that not offering the basic benefits drive people away.
I'm a Photo Specialist for Walgreens. Which is their title for 'Yous our *****'. While I don't, myself, hate people like many retail employees do, this job is the first to very much help me in understanding why this stereotype exists. I'd like to get myself into college and find a better field, though. This Bane Shift's the pits.
