Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you’re into music you must be able to play any random instrument.
I just like hearing pros rant about about their very niche problems.

I am a school psychologist with a master’s in clinical psychology. The main misconception for my work is that (at least in my state) school psychologists rarely focus on counseling. Instead, we are writing reports and determining whether a student is eligible or maintains eligibility for special education. I give IQ, academic, and social-emotional tests and write a report. I work with a student for about 3 hours maximum and then I’m alone writing and scheduling meetings. Then, I’m onto the next one.
Most people, even staff in the school, think I am a counselor. I can technically do it, but there already is someone who was hired for that position… so, they should probably do that, and I’ll make sure our special education documents are compliant.
