I am finishing up my undergrad in Psychology and I am looking into a few schools that offer graduates degrees in psychology. I am going to be focusing on school counseling. I think it is about a two year degree ( 30 classes ). Anyways, I am hoping to find out what it is like? What kind of stuff I should be prepared for. Are there a lot of papers to write? Stuff like that. Is there anyone who has taken this road and can give me an idea? Or anyone that knows someone who has?
Thank you!!!
I think it would be wise, since I know a lot about this subject due to doing a lot of it that if you stick just with school counseling you will always be stuck with that.
So, I would take a few more classes and deal with school counseling and regular counseling also. You will do some counseling, you will write papers, you will work within the framework of the mental health system hopefully and your education in psychology will be entirely different on the way it is based.
Not as much on books as in theory and hands on.
You are a good soul. You want to help people, I admire that. Just stay true to yourself and remain the true you and keep your own personal identity, do not become their psych robot and allow your emotive empathy intact.
Good Luck
