Sex therapist.
Medical/psychology degrees. 6 years total. Pay is great and benefits....... well, what can I say?
Frigid women are the worst, but I like challenges. Good thing is, I can refuse the really bad ones. I cannot give details, but some women who cum in with above average libido's are incredible. Nuff said.

I have to show them how to cope with their insatiable needs. It's hard for some because they squirt or have uncontrollable multiple orgasms. It's a huge problem for these individuals, because most of the time it leads to promiscuity. Unwanted, but cannot be helped. They don't want to be branded sluts or nymphomaniacs. They really cannot help themselves. Treatment starts with mechanical devices, then it graduates to finding what triggers their libido. It's very complicated. Some of the weirdest things set them off. Cooking, for example. One young woman became triggered with the sounds created by a mixer of all things. Anyway, if any of you are interested in this field, the hardest part is being professional about it and staying professional.
Certification is the toughest part. The process is long and arduous.
The best part of the job (most gratifying) is when I work with married couples who have a hard time with their sexual relationship. You won't believe how many men have fantasies involving role reversal. Anyway, I've said enough already.
If any of you are having any difficulty sexually with your partner, seriously seek sex therapy. Next to financial troubles, intimacy and performance in bed is the biggest cause of break ups.

My younger cousins are just starting University, and I've always warned them to figure out what they want on the bigger picture and not to drift. People who study very unemployable degrees (e.g. Philosophy, etc.), is like answering a question nobody asked.
I've repeatedly told them to figure out what the biggest questions are, and then become the answer.

So are you designated with the CFA then? Cuz if you were planning on becoming a financial planner, going through the CFA course is an over kill.

But I write reviews for a number of outlets right now. The best bet, if you're looking to get into the field, is to call up RPM Motoring Monthly (604-927-2588) and tell them you'd like to get into writing, and go from there.
But be prepared to cut your teeth on other writing for at least a few years.
