I'm trying to decide which job I may want to shoot more for. 

From my (very) basic understanding, they differentiate in how psychiatrists need more schooling, can prescribe drugs to their patients, and they usually help people who are more psychologically troubled than a psychologist can help them. Theoretically, the psychologist would be the easier career to shoot for...

If you want to do either of these jobs you should probably have more than a (very) basic understanding of the differences.

My answer is neither, btw, there are already too many graduates for the available jobs.

I hope there end up being more psychiatrists.

Actually, what I'm trying to say is that I think therapy is (mostly) a racket. Give me the drugs, The End. You can't help me beyond that.

haha well maybe we just need to do away with all minions like nurses and therapists. Go for the gold or don't do it at all. They're only bothering oancau anyway. I'd say this is basis enough to have them all banned from employment.

since pills are the easy way out for people who think they're the cure all for every mental disorder, we might see more psychiatrists, since they can prescribe said pills, and also pharmacologists.

working through your issues seems to be more of an inconvenience to some people than a viable solution, sadly.

Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with our culture. It's too fast. In order to heal, people need to stop traumatizing themselves. Really, this would probably mean moving to a different country.

The last thing we need is more people prescribing pills for everything.
