Knew a guy once who worked in that same job.

He was later arrested for drug-dealing.

Definitely something amiss there. I'm not sure why having an addiction would lead you to want to be around other addicts, so I can't imagine that it's that way around.

It must be that being around addicts makes you want to try it.

(For instance, if you were a paedophile, say, I could understand the logic of you wanting to work somewhere you could get close to children... a school or a youth club or a church or whatever. But just working in those places wouldn't *make* you into a paedophile, at least as far as the statistics go).

I read about how the hackers broke in and holy hell it's embarrassing. Basically they left a bunch of validation up to the client instead of enforcing it on the server. Hackers just emulated their own client and forged a different fields in the request and the server just let them do it.

Until there are fines for non-compliance, I suspect the practice will continue..

I had a coworker who hung himself in his office right before meeting his clients. I had to take on his old caseload and do what I could to help his clients cope with this.

The mental health field is full of professionals who become therapists in order to help others, but fail to take care of themselves.
