Send your precipitation down South , thanks ! <| sep |> I think it does depend on which stage in Betty ' s life you ask this . It didn ' t seem , in the show , that she was all that interested in Anthropology outside of her degree but she loved the attention she got from modeling . Early Betty thrived on it , and seemed to assume all of her value as a woman depended on who and how much found her beautiful and enviable . By the end of the show though , I do think Betty would have been happiest as a Psychologist . The original seed is planted with her Freudian shrink in season 1 which left a bad impression , and then again with Sally ' s therapist in Season 4 which she found herself conversing with ease . I think she , like us , could probably diagnose Don for fun which she did a little bit after sleeping with him for the last time . I think Betty would have certainly found herself satisfied and felt far more worthy and productive as a psychologist than as a model !
