You can do and use the skills that you have. The schools need you. The teachers need you. Students and parents need you. They need your actual person: your physical personhood and your open minds and open ears and boundless compassion, sitting next to them, listening and nodding and asking questions for hours at a time. Dave Eggers
Being a good psychoanalyst, in short, has the same disadvantage as being a good parent: The children desert one as they grow up. Morton Hunt
