What about a Secretary, coco?
Also my friend has been working in psych related places for like ten years now without a degree and started with no experience. Like, she can't do assessments or anything, but she's like direct care staff for in-patient places

whats the name of the positions?
i dont mind crazy people.. my original goal was to work in a mental institution with the mentally ill.. (psychiatrist) but id love to even be a psychiatric assistant of some type.. but you need a cert for most of those and experience.. i do have a medical assistant cert though.
i once had an old man with dementia/alzeheimers chase and try to fight me. it was interesting..

I suck at excel too
But the positions usually have different names, but they'll be listed under the direct care tab. A lot of places have different sections to click under, like paraprofessional, grounds, professional, direct care etc. Just look around. If you don't know the names of the places, go to monster or indeed and use a basic search word like "psychology" in your area.. some jobs requiring degrees might pop up, but you can then follow the links to their website and look up positions from there

i work in a group home setting... psych/ss. they have a daycare, i don't teach there cause i teach somewhere else.. try that... you could work in the daycare as a helper, some people take the kids (the moms) to and from appts, take them to session. i do both kinda.. intakes/ just hang with the girls. They watch tv with me, im helping one with her registry, i cook when i work sundays. I dont take them to appts tho. Not yet, im still new i remember you wanting to do psychiatry.. i did/do too. Do something like that til you finish med school.
