For those people who have had significant experience in what clinical psychologists do, what would you say are the best and the worst parts of such a career? If you had to make a career decision again, knowing what you know now, are there things that would give you significant pause to clin psy as a career? Or would you still make the same decision?

(Please indicate your level of experience in the field.)

Is this for a homework assignment? I'm sure people would be glad to give you their opinions, but if you're surveying for something you need to be upfront about it.

Nope. Just interested to hear people's views.

Best: Making an impact on patients and their families.

Worst: Interactions with idiotic parents that result in having to waste my evening doing CPS reports rather than having dinner with my wife.
