How do you get such a job? Do you have a degree in English or other? I've often thought this would be an ideal job for me.

Other times I feel great - at the top of my game. Still other times, I feel so agitated that my thoughts race, my muscles tighten and I grind my teeth incessantly. Of course, the kicker is that I have yet to be able to predict when these various feelings will occur, and why they occur in the first place.
