It's been a hot minute since I looked at Canada's National Occupation Classification system. I learned about it when studying career counselling in grad school, and it's pretty useful in terms of job-hunting and getting information on what different types of jobs require and pay.

A friend asked me for advice about becoming a therapist so I went and looked. They redid it since I last visited, and oh man there are some chef's kiss decisions.

There are 9 top-level categories, with 1 being legislative and senior management, 5 being arts, culture, and sport, and 9 being manufacture and utilities. So I was looking for my old job's classification, which used to be 4153 - Family, marriage and other related counsellors. Knowing that made searching the government job bank really easy back in the day, because instead of searching "counsellor" "counselor" "psychotherapist" "mental health therapist" "clinical counsellor" etc etc etc to find them all, I just typed "4153" and hit enter.

Anyway, they redid the system and now that job is parked at 41301 - Therapists in counselling and related specialized therapies. Here's the tree to get there:

Cool cool cool. It's tidier, even if the occupations are still a bit messy. (When I dropped out of the field, the different counselling subdivisions were tapping their toes impatiently waiting for the provincial government to let them form their own professional regulatory college. Which still has not happened. Last week my shrink said he'd got an email from the College of Psychologists announcing that it would be gathering all the smaller counselling fields into its own downy breast instead. I have no idea what's happening anymore.)

Anyway. I scrolled down to another job I once worked and HAHA WHAT

Yes. There are only three sub-units of category 44:

Nannies:

In-home caregivers:

And,

Combat specialists

I find this grouping of professions hilarious, appropriate, and deeply validating. No notes. 🧑‍🍳👌💋

I found this prayer for the Salvation of Queen Elizabeth, in Irish Gaelic, linked to on Wikipedia’s article concerning the Gaelic script. In the same way that the majestic Latin of Catholic rites gives me the dopamine chills, so too does the Early Modern Received-Pronunciation King-James-y English of Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer. Although I am a Catholic, I am part of a facebook group that seeks to promote the use of Irish Gaelic in the Anglican Liturgy. During the troubles, Protestant services in Irish Gaelic went into decline... however, in more recent times they seem to have gotten a little more popular. ‘A Thighearna, ár nAthair neamhaí, oll-ard uile-chumhachtach, Rí na Ríthe, Tighearna na dTighearnaí, Aonrialtóir na bhflath, a bhreathnaíos ó do rí-chathaoir ar lucht áitribh an domhain uile; iarraimid ort go lándúthrachtach féachaint le do ghrásta ar a Soilse, ár nArdbhantighearna, an Bhanríoghan Elizabeth; agus í a líonadh de shíor de ghrásta an Spiorad Naoimh, i gcaoi go gclaona sí í gcónaí chun do thola agus do siúla ar do shlighe: Soláthair tabhartais neamhaí di go fairsing; deonaigh fad saoghail di agus sláinte agus sonas; neartaigh í ar shlighe go dtaga léi a náimhde uile a chloí agus a chur faoi smacht; agus ar deireadh tar eís an tsaoghail seo, go dtaga sí ar síon agus ar sólás síoraí; trí Íosa Chríost ár dTighearna. Áiméan.’ Same prayer from the English Version of the Book of Common Prayer for Ireland: ‘O LORD, our heavenly Father, high and mighty, King of kings, Lord of lords, the only Ruler of princes, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers upon earth ; Most heartily we beseech thee with thy favour to behold our most gracious Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth; and so replenish her with the grace of thy Holy Spirit, that she may alway incline to thy will, and walk in thy way: Endue her plenteously with heavenly gifts ; grant her in health and wealth long to live strengthen her that she may vanquish and overcome all her enemies ; and finally, after this life, she may attain everlasting joy and felicity ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.’ ____ #gaelic #irish #gaeilge https://www.instagram.com/p/COJ65n4HrXs/?igshid=1cc1gqqmneh1x
