<p>Over the past couple days Ive posting trying to decide on a major. After emailing/talking to many admission ppl and counselors over the months ive decide out of 100's only 3-5 were helpful. Some were enthusiastic about helping me but some werent, so im been trying to find information on what degree or license you need to have to be a counselor or a advisor for a college.</p>
<p>ps: all comment and opinions are welcomed</p>
<p>plz and thanks for help/ replies</p>
<p>What kind of counselor? A mental health one or an academic one?</p>
<p>Psychology or social work could be helpful! Or organization/management if your school has anything like that</p>
<p>Admissions people don’t need a specific degree or license. Academic advisers don’t need one either. (I noticed that most of the general academic advisers at my college are trained in the humanities; the major-specific ones are regular faculty in the discipline.) </p>
<p>Mental health counselors, like heyyou1234 said, usually have degrees in psychology or social work and are licensed by the counseling/psychotherapy/clinical social work agency in charge of their state and specialty.</p>
