I'm about to complete my MA in counseling and I'm having a hard time figuring out how I will complete my 3,000 hours for licensure. Has anyone done this on a part-time basis. i have a full-time job that I cannot affor to quit (paying about $49K) due to our financial situation. I also know that an extry level job without licensure would pay very little. My ultimate goal is to go into private practice once I get my LPC licence, but still keep my current job until I build up my client load. I have another masters in Nutrition and woud like to combine it with counseling to creat a niche in wegiht management, body image and eating disorders.
Would I be better of quitting my job and getting an entry level position in counseling? I love my current job--has great benefits and very flexible--can even work from homw some days which is great with 2 young children. However, i really do want to get into counseling on a part-time basis.
Thanks for your responses.
