<p>Seems fun.</p>
<p>Minus all the paperwork.</p>
<p>This is all I can see myself doing right now. There are a lot of things I would be good at but not much I would enjoy.</p>
<p>I don't think I could have a job that would have me counseling 600-700 people about college. That'd be hell.</p>
<p>Each counselor at my school is appointed to about 250 students. It varies from school to school. At my old school there was one counselor for 1000 students. lol</p>
<p>at my school each counselor has less than 100 students
you can always find a small school if don't like counseling a lot of people
i'd say go for it!</p>
<p>I'd hate it...</p>
<p>I don't want any job involving HS</p>
<ol>
<li>Poor pay</li>
<li>Deal with high schoolers every day</li>
<li>I'm not getting out of HS just so I can get back in</li>
</ol>
<p>Poor pay? Salary is like 40,000-60,000+ here. I don't want a mansion and a yacht. I just want to be happy and money can't buy happiness.</p>
<p>Bad kids don't usually see counselors. It's usually the ones that care about their education and getting into college. Well, that's my observation. I kind of like the high school atmosphere.</p>

</p>
<p>Money isn't everything, but considering that you have to get a college degree to be a counselor, there are plenty of jobs that you would enjoy that would make you much better off financially. </p>

<p>It's usually the opposite. HS counselors are focused more on the kids who are failing classes and kinda expect the kids who are doing fine to make it to college with less guidance.</p>
<p>Then again, I don't know you or your aspirations, so if you want to be a HS counselor, go for it. It's just a job I would never take.</p>
<p>I would rather be that person who drives around the truck that empties out Biffys.</p>

<p>I do too. I don't want to be a counselor, but I DO want to teach high school.</p>

<p>Like what?</p>
<p>Anything in the health/medical field is out of the question.</p>
<p>See, the assistant principal and dean and teachers take care of the kids that are failing and behaving badly at my school. I mean, counselors get involved sometimes, but I am not worried about that. I guess it's different from school to school.</p>
<p>That amount of money is enough for me to live comfortably on my own.</p>
<p>Absolutely not.</p>
<p>A definite "NO" on this one.</p>
<p>blah, all you cc'ers are boring. You want to be lawyers, doctors, investment bankers etc etc. boring boring boring</p>
<p>No thanks. I need to terraform Mars/contact aliens/research wormholes.</p>

<p>Well I wouldn't mind being a tennis instructor, but you don't need a degree for that.</p>
<p>I like psychology a lot. I could be a clinical or counseling psychologist, but I'm pretty sure such positions require doctorate degrees, and they don't even get paid all that much.</p>
<p>I also could be a college professor, but most of them have doctorate degrees, too...</p>
<p>Educational psychologist is another option. I dunno.</p>
<p>But I'm not really sure what any of the people in those careers really do. I have a some idea. But I've seen firsthand what guidance counselors do. And it is something I think I would like.</p>
