(spent the last two days, sawing off a piece of left over wood from us redoing the fence, because I actually like board presses, and need to start implementing them). It’s a 5 point something something inch thick piece of wood. Yay for improvising) I just do my best to keep the block stable on my chest. Obviously can’t go heavy, but no big deal.

I’m not a very big archer when I bench, however I had my butt locked out so hard that I tweaked my back. The hell. So heating pad away.

who won 
Five inches or point five inches?
5 inches, decimal, and another number. Like 5.25 for example. Something like that. It’s confusing typing out numbers lol.
The battle ropes won. I had no problem with them. Hate burpees.

So that’s more like a two board press, right?
Maybe even more like three to be honest.

This is mostly related to my schooling, but I like taking in considerations for what others think. This is gonna be a poll.
At the moment I’ve managed to narrow down what I’m going to major in into two.
First one is optometry, second is psychiatry.
Most times I find people saying how quiet, or considerate, I am. The biggest one I hear is how humble I am. And I find that a great attribute for helping people. In either field I decide, I’ll still enjoy helping people. I suck at talking, but I’m A-1 sauce on listening.
There’s a few folks on here who know how much I’ve delved into psychiatry/psychology and the many things they imply, and how I’ve spewed Many a post stating that it’s a strong possibility I will major in that subject.
I’ve also talked about my interests in optometry. What I like about it, etc.
I’m not well versed in optics. From the few introductory books I’ve read, it’s very interesting and all the innovative research to help any and everything concerning vision, and vision related diseases.
So, from interacting with me(at least online), what would you guys suggest?
I know none of you have had the chance with interacting with me in real life, but hopefully I’ve incorporated bits and pieces of my personality into my posts over the years.
I know I know, it’s uptimately up to me, which is why I’m glad I’m weeding Most of the stuff out in my pre granduate years, however I still enjoy hearing well thought out, and considerate opinions.
- Optometry
- Psychiatry

Having been in the psych field for years prior to this, I would definitely echo what losthog said…it takes a special kind of person to be able to deal with people at their worst, day in and day out, and be able to not bring it home…you see people at their worst, and you also see the results of other people doing their worst to people…it is tough as all get out…optometry is clean, sanitized (as far as personal stuff goes, typically) and much easier to flip that switch when you leave the office…psych fields? Not so much, you’ll go home 4 nights out of 5 wondering if your phrasing was correct for that nearly irreparably damaged kid when talking about touchy subjects, did you push too hard? Did you not dig deep enough? Do they know how much you care? But think that you might not care, because you go home and think, “I could have pushed more.”
The most empathetic people make the best psych field people, but they also feel everything…which means they are also the fastest to burn out…it is an amazing line of work, it is also one of the toughest jobs I have ever had (or will have, probably.)
These are all thoughts I’ve had dealing with both adults and kids, the kids are by far the worst (as far as taking it home with you and second guessing).
Edit: I’ll add that the most mentally brutal aspect is seeing or working with a kid (or adult) and finally hitting the wall and realizing that they can’t (or won’t) change any more, and that their self destructive habits will eventually land them in prison, but that you have to “choose” who to try and “save” because you only have so much gas in your tank to use…

I’m biased towards optometry because I live in a world where all I see is crazy people talking to themselves on the side of the street.
I imagine there are better versions of psych patients but I’m blinded by the idiots.

Convinced me
I’ll echo what @Despade said. It’s damn near impossible to not take home the bad stuff that you see and feel on a daily basis. Whether you want it to or not, it has an effect on you and it’s usually not a good one.
The darkness of the world has a way of finding its way inside you.
I suggest you try to interview or shadow some professionals in each field. Try to figure out which one is happier.
You’ve shown that you’re susceptible to beating yourself up and letting your emotions have an effect on your living. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that but I fear psych work could be bad for you. You’d help a lot of people but at what cost? It’s a noble pursuit but at some point you have to consider yourself too (your husband and any future kids as well).

To piggy back on this, it took me a solid 18 months of not working in the field before I would even consider having kids again, I wanted kids prior to working in that environment, worked there for a couple years, and it took that full 18 months before I’d even really talk about it again…
