@steemladder very useful. I spent many years as a taxi-driver where everybody unloads their troubles and some of us become pretty good practical psychologists. Practical though, usually not uni-trained, as mist of us used to work 12 hours, seven days. I did this between truck driving whenever I was in a city that I wanted to stay in for awhile. A good way to meet the locals and learn the city map areas for restuarants, clubs etc. I'm retired now, but years ago did literature at an English college. It can be difficult when studying in a time frame, but it can be very fulfilling if studying on own time. Two suggestions for good reading; first, an easy read, the legend of Merlin as authored by Mary Stewart. You will need to look it up in a library, as it began as trilogy but now, I think is four, with a prequel. Secondly, try Chaucer. He wrote the Canterbury Tales. In his ancient language of pre-elizabethan England, it is very difficult, but today one can get, split page translations, with Chaucerian on one side, and translation on the other. My favourite is The Wife of Bath, Prologue and Tale.
Do enjoy steemit, as there are some very informative blogs. I spend more time reading than writing.
Keep on keeping on. 😇
