From 2020 to 2023 the growth is estimated to grow 23%. To be honest the real reason I have picked this career path is because I am an recovering addict and one of the hardest this for me to have to deal with in the beginning was not having someone who completely understood and could relate to the things and feelings I was dealing with.
