Mmm, as a teacher, I love is soo much when a distressed child, disturbed by an indeed problematic work-environment, is taken to a psychiatrist to be "cured".
I love it sooo much when they come back to stare and laugh at the blank wall for the whole day, week, month...
(I heard those case are exceptional miss-calculations in the proportions. But those story who end well in the very long therm are for me like fairy tales: I heard a lot about them, but very seldom got the actual opportunity to see them with my own eyes.)
The problem with those jobs is : if you are a technician and if you don't have a certificate; it's still possible to do the job if (well, you have the competence, someone able to see it, and nobody else to do it). In those fields, only the person with THE certificate can do it. So the whole problem for the student becomes as much about how to get the competence, than about how to get accepted in a group of people protecting each other's back. (Because in the highly desirable world of money and social recognition for life: many are the applicants, few the openings and so rude is the fight. So any advantage you wouldn't have, becomes often too much to make it.) Then, when you have the right spirit... Well psychiatrists don't have the monopol of the problem. In a world where any green field you need to work on, is a field you have to take from someone else: greed has becomes the Darwinist law of evolution. Now that's just one of the actual results.
