  • Art Therapist. I am the services director at a youth shelter. I oversee the art therapy and psychology interns and the other staff, making sure we are providing the appropriate services (shelter, life skills, therapy, case management, fiduciary, etc) and are generally meeting the needs of our clients.

    Additionally, I get to be the handy man…because stuff needs to get done and I’m the one with the drill and willingness to climb a ladder.

    I got my current job due to my degree in art therapy. But before that, I worked in an embroidery shop. My kids have special needs and I wanted to be available for them while they were young. I replied to an ad for an embroidery specialist (without any training), and they hired me to run the shop based on me having a good work history, good education, and the expectation that I would be around for a while.

    TL;DR. Most places just want to see that you’re dependable and willing to work hard. Build up that reputation and you can branch out into different fields a little. Just apply to anything you are interested in. Good luck!!






  • Dude, you focused on 1 sentence and missed the point.

    #1 It is Your WIFE’S relationship. Stay out of it unless she asks for advice.

    #2 Your wife knows her dad better than you do. Trust her.

    #3 Biology does not make a parent. She believes her genetics is irrelevant to her relationship with her father. She’s probably right. Odds are that he’s suspected she’s biologically not his for a while anyway.

    #4 He took the test, too. He knows. Knowing that she knows and is still seeking him out as though nothing has changed probably means the world to him. No need to confront something they both are ignoring.

    #5 Your wife is a full-grown, functioning adult with a mature relationship with her father. She can make these decisions without your assistance. Quit it.

    Also, if you undermine this and leak it in any way, she has every right to leave you. This could be divorce-worthy behavior.

    Stay. Out. Of. Her. Relationship. With. Her. Dad.
