I don't know educational-wise, but personality and character-wise, I think it's one extreme or the other. I've known people who "provide services to others" to be really compassionate or really cold and fucked up. There's three people in "helping work" who has changed my life...for the better. Two teachers and a counselor. On the other hand, I can't count how many teachers who DID NOT have my best interest in mind. I've had an ex-friend who was a nurse's assistant in geriatrics that laughed at my alzheimer's grandmother when she got confused once. Here in college, I know social work, pre-med, nursing, psychology, and education majors who are extremely self-centered, rude, arrogant, and down-right mean. I guess it's the 8th wonder in the world why some mean people choose to do service-oriented jobs.
