Can anyone offer some insight on the PsyD degree?
So, after some careful researching on the difference between the PhD and the PsyD, I've decided that the PsyD is more in tune with what I'd like to do. Now I'm really curious as to the process of obtaining it. So, to all you PsyD holders or those of you in school for one: How long does it take? How much schooling do you need before you enter a PsyD program? What are the prerequisites? How hard is it to get into a PsyD program? How much does it cost? Is financial aid available? What kind of courses do you take and things do you do as a PsyD student? What kind of jobs are available after graduation, and how much do the pay? Is it worth it? Do you wish you would have pursued a different degree? Those are only the questions I can think of. xD Basically, any advice for a fifteen year old thinking about getting a PsyD would be nice.
What is your insight about abortion?
I fell pregnant when my daughter was 18 months 'accidentally'. we were stupid enough not to be careful! I must say the thought entered my mind only cos i was really worrying about how i'd cope, money was really tight and we had just been given an eviction notice on our home then! I carried on with the pregnancy and went a gorgeous little boy! When i delivered him, he wasn't breathing and the hopistal staff struggled to bring him back, but thankfully he did and is now fine! I know a few people who have had abortions because they fell 'accidentally' and then fall pregnant 4 weeks later! I have also been on some web site that shows abortions pics and vids and i must say i would never even think about it again! I sat here crying my eyes out at what i saw! It is murder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think abortion should only be carried out at a very EARLY stage and only if it was because of rape or a abnormabiltly with the child! They abort at the lastest stage and that baby is formed. i could never ever do it!!!!!!
Is PUSHING the same as HITTING?! LADIES Insight PLZ!?
Pushing isn't quite the same as hitting, but it's in the ballpark. Some guys can escalate from a shove to punch (thankfully, you didn't). Even if she wasn't hurt, it can be very startling to be pushed, especially by a loved one. Besides, it's a very immature way to respond to a situation like that. I understand your frustration with her for not believing you when you said you didn't cheat, but a grown-up walks away from that kind of confrontation (easier said than done, I know), a child acts out with violence. While it's not as bad as hitting, I wouldn't classify it as no big deal. You know you wouldn't be violent, but she doesn't know if you have it in you to hit her, and too many woman have ended up getting seriously hurt after going back to a man who "only hit them once". She's just watching her butt. Good luck working things out.
I fell in love with a cougar that started as a purely sexual fling. Now my 44 year old girlfriend tells me?
We don't need to read your previous questions to give you an answer to your question. It doesn't matter if she loves you or not. You were wrong to have an affair with a married woman. You began the relationship for sexual reasons, so why did you ever think she'd leave her husband for you anyway. Let her go. If one day, she's divorced, you can pick up where you left off.
What kind of answers on Quora are most beneficial to society, insightful versus confirmatory?
This is a really great question. And the question details have more insightful thoughts than many answers today with thousands of upvotes.In the initial days of Quora, there were fewer questions, and had some really good quality answers. These days with influx of too many people, suddenly the focus has shifted from quality to quick wit.I always believed in the saying, "There are no stupid answers, only stupid questions". On Quora these days I see both. There are genuine good quality questions, but the whole purpose of it gets ruined with a top answer, which all it contains is a random analogy or oversmart wit. Yes, wit is cute, fun and helps for a quick read, but it really doesn't help the Quora community, or the OP who asked for a genuine answer. For example, I read a question where the OP asked for pros and cons of ebooks versus physical books. It is a sensible question asking people about their experience. A highly upvoted answer for this question was a silly (non)analogy of whether a person would prefer to hold hands with his girlfriend or talk to her on Skype. Grr. Such answers make me want to pull my hair out.Then there was a question which I read recently, "Why are you proud of being a follower of
Marriage: How do you spend your entire life with just one person, isn't it scary?
EDIT: I think I misunderstood your question. Parts of my answer are still relevant, ie romantic love is not exclusive of other kinds and I think we thrive when surrounded by both kinds. But what you're asking is whether it's possible to have a satisfying life with only one romantic partner. I think it is, if one can learn to recognize the difference between the ecstatic experience of novel sex and the enduring satisfaction of trust, intimacy and security. It's kind of like the moment you evolve from blended Scotch to single malt. When you drink coffee for the taste and not the buzz. When you finish Moby Dick and actually enjoyed it. Anyway, I think that's more to the point. I still think the original answer offers insight into this whole subject of love.I think that would be a pretty desolate lifetime and I doubt it's possible. The only exception I can think of is if you are talking about romantic love. Then, maybe. In fact, I think if one experiences genuine romantic love in this world with one other person they are extremely lucky. If they recognize it for what it is and make it endure they are doubly gifted. But such pairings are not common or easy. More often, love should permeate our life, coming from a variety of places and being of different kinds and intensities.
