I love this field! Do you naturally recognize potential in others, or look for it? Are you thrilled watching people work and play in their areas of talent and expertise? Are you driven to guide others in discovering their interests, skills, etc. and the roles that best fit them? If so then you might really love it too! A Master's in Counseling, School Counseling, or Higher Education would be good choices for entry. With a Bachelor's, try starting as an employment recruiter or college recruiter/admissions representative. Educational requirements may not be absolute except, for example, for school counselors which in my state need to have a Master's, school internship, and state certification. Do your research and talk to people! Pay varies greatly among different jobs in the field, but it's not a job to get into for the money. |

yes,its very interesting career in which you can enhance the knowledge and come to know more about human psychology.
one who is having interest in psychology must choose this career.
yes i would luv to choose this career again.
most of the people viewed that any body from any field can become a counsellor,its not true,it requires proper knowledge of psychology,conducting psychological tests ,and some special traits are also required.
pros and cons are-its not very much paid careeer initially but once you established yourself as a counsellor you will get more rewards,some times one get so much involved with the problems of others that he or she can also get in to depression,so one should know how to detach emotionally with the problems of others. |

This is a great career for someone who loves working with teenagers. It is also an amazing way to touch the lives of many people. It can be stressful but I think that it is rewarding enough to be worth it! |

it's a good job which needs several skill : technical ones, human ones, economic ons. But i Won't recommend this job in France ! I would have prefer work in my specific area of job, which is psychologist (in hospital i.e). The pros are said before. The cons are that this job is not well paid ! Also, corporatists & not really good workers or managers are full numerous in this job & in this activity area. For the last question, I would say : just what is written before. |

I recommend not to do this job in France !. Otherwise, it's a good job. To do this job (not this carrer in France...), professional workers need several skills (technical ones, human ones, economic ones. I.e : you need to know the local employment areas and their specific contradictions or difficulties). I won't choose to go in this alone career. But, I will try to work as psychologist (my training & my choice)in hospital and as 2d choice, work sometime for school & unemployers counselor. The cons is that you are not well paid! Also, it's a job with several corporatists & not really good mind workers and managers. For the last question I would say : just what is written before. |

I work as a guidance counselor in a private elementary school. I'm in charge of about 430 children's emotional, behavioral, and academic well-being. It sounds like a lot, but most children by and large go through their schooling without the need of outside help and do very well. I don't get paid much, about $24,500 a year, but I get a lot of vacation time, and I pay 40% total tuition for my 6-year-old. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology, which I enjoyed getting very much.
I also was a College Counselor in various high schools for about 5 years, a job which I also enjoyed. It is an extremely rewarding job; it's amazing to be with the kids when they get accepted into their favorite colleges (yes, Harvard and Yale!!) and better yet, to be the one to tell them they've been accepted.
The major thing I don't like about this job is that there is quite a bit of down time, when it seems no one needs you, and that's when you have to "drum up" work for yourself. You have to have a lot of drive, motivation, and initiative. |
