I often liked to help people work things out in a calm way, and I enjoyed helping them release stress. To prepare for a career in Marriage and Family Therapist, I will need to take high school classes in mental health, then plan to do an internship after high school, accept many hours as working conditions, know that salaries change with experience is the outlook for this career, and beware that some people who have this career like helping others and dislike time and money spent on it. Being a…
