Hi Everyone,
I am currently a senior in college and am going to graduate in May with a degree in psychology. My current plan for the future is to attend grad school for school counseling then become a guidance counselor. But, after researching im afraid that if I get my school counseling degree it will only limit me to the school.
What other degree's would allow me to be a guidance counselor but also do threapy or counseling outside the school setting as well? Being a high school guidance counselor, I will have alot of time off which I would want to use my degree to work while having the time off. Would an MSW work or mental health counseling work and be better? My Aunt graduated with an MSW and did counseling for a psychologist which i would want to do on the side of guidance counseling.
Also, does anyone have experience in guidance counseling and that would recommend this as a career path? i.e good salary starting out, work environment etc. Just a little undecided, thanks for the help
