Johnny, you're 100% correct. Thank you for being so eloquent.
To the OP: I'm an O.O.H. (Original Old Hag) ... and doing just fine

I think the OP doesn't realize that this is a choice for many of us. We aren't stuck doing this for a living. VNurse is a dear friend and also an OOH and it's more than difficult to get in to see her because she's amazing. But so worth it when you do! For every provider, there are clients who think she's a goddess.
As for finding other ways to make money, yes please do that. But you have to understand that having a good attitude and knowing how to deal with all kinds of people is a necessity in
any business. I've never seen a job description with "must be rude and infantile" listed as a desired skill.
Good luck in your endeavors.
