What I want to be when I grow up - part 2

Thanks for another student who has shared plans with others.

Below you'll see links to sate laws and rules relate to this goal.

When I grow up and finish my schooling, I'm aiming to become a psychologist/ therapist. Under the Texas state law for psychiatrists we have to go through a strenuous amount of schooling. Becoming a psychologist is basically becoming a doctor of the minds and helping individuals out. In the state of Texas it is required to not have committed a felony and to ensure you yourself are also of sound mind. Section 205.256 an executive council can require a yearly exam done to ensure all rules and laws are being followed under the Texas state regulated laws for this career field. One day i hope to help children and adults walk through the pain they hold so tight in an attempt to make their lives more manageable. Since this career is considered a doctor there are hundreds of different rules set state by state to regulate prescriptions written, etc.
