Years ago a friend was graduating with her masters in Psychology. The plan had always been to go on to her PHD. But at graduation she looked around her and realized everyone was crazier than she was. This was not the path to mental health.
She took time off, teaching riding at a famous kids' riding school, where I met her. (Horses are the best therapists! ) She ended up teaching computer science, dealt with her issues, inherited the family farm where her dad had abused her, filled it with horses she bred, and has a healthy marriage.
