Retired psychologist here working in another field. Kudos to you for dedicating your life to this much needed area. I assume from your posts you are working in a prison. I take my hat off to you- I interviewed in a prison for my post-doc hours and I knew there was no way I could hack it- and I'm a very large burly male. I hope your career is personally rewarding and brings you much happiness.
Question- do you ever think of going into another area of psychology? I imagine burn out is prevalent among your colleagues. Personally I went into high dollar "private pay" residential treatment and loved it. I couldn't imagine working in a prison for even a day.
