Hello all,
I am a full-time LPC-A in South Carolina doing exactly what I wanted to do... and I don't like it. The career itself doesn't fit me. My job is excellent, the pay is medium, my coworkers are great, I could not ask for a better boss. Some people could "settle" here and work for another 20 years. But it just isn't a good fit. I do not like counseling and am too solution-focused. This isn't a supervision issue, this is a personal fit issue. I am struggling against sunk cost fallacy. I am considering leaving work and getting my Ph. D. in I/O, or working HR, leadership development, talent assessment/management. Going straight into the market is hard because I would be on the bottom rung again. But I am basically on the bottom rung right now anyways. Does anyone have any personal experience changing to something along these lines? I guess I am throwing this into the void and hoping someone has some suggestions!
