Wondering whether or not to get certified.
I'm currently getting a master's in counseling. During my time getting my master's, health has become more important to me and has allowed me to lose a good deal of weight.

Do you think this would be a good idea? #nutrition #masters #counseling #niche

I am asking this because one day I can change someone’s life in a positive or negative way. No one can tell what I will do in the future.

My life goal is to change and impact someone’s life in a positive way so everyone can thrive and be happy. #happiness #counseling #school-counseling #mentoring

Need career guidance for a counseling career
I am a currently a sophomore marketing major. My own experience with mental health makes me want to inspire others and help them live happily. I hope to apply for mental health counseling, family and relationship therapist, social work master (even to a phd counseling psychology.) My biggest worries are whether my outgoing and lively personality could handle so many negative feelings and whether I could actually help them... I love advocate, interview, deeply connect with people. I am ok with marketing jobs but hate the corporate environment. I want to inspire, promote, cause change.. However, I cannot find any other alternative ways to directly impact people's lives except counseling careers. Do you think I need to change major to psychology (only able to do so at the end of my junior year) and continue follow my "dream"? #career #psychology #education #career-counseling #social-work #counseling #life-coach #mental-health-counseling

What is the best approach to take towards a poorly taught course?
I am a graduate Electrical Engineering student and throughout my career as a student I found that there were a few classes that provided less than satisfactory learning experience and I've always felt unsure about how to approach such classes. I feel that I tend to be uncertain about who to talk to and whether I should voice my opinion at all about the class and how to do so. An expert advice would be beneficial on this topic. #professor #student #counseling #college-student #student-counseling #academic-advisor #student-affairs #student-engagement

When deciding upon the Genetic Counselor career were you more interested in the research and application of knowledge or the counseling aspect?
I am a high school senior who has researched Genetic Counseling as a potential career interest. One question that seems to never be answered is if the Genetic Counselor's were more intrigued with the research aspect of the job or with dealing with the patients. This is important for me because I am more interested in research and would like to know if being a Genetic Counselor would satisfy my need to be involved with understanding and working with the genetics. #science #biology #research #counseling #genetics #pyschology #genetic-counseling

What are some good questions to ask a professional panel?
I have had the opportunity in the past to visit accounting firms and converse with accountants. However, I always found myself at a dead end with an inability to come up with good questions. I had a train of thought, but I could not put them into words. Now I want to get an idea of what would constitute as good questions. Is something like: people usually tell me that an accounting profession is tedious, do you find this statement true a good question? #career-counseling #interviews #counseling #interview-questions #question
How will the knowledge one learns, and the experience one has change the lives of other people and create a better community, so there's more unity instead of isolation if someone were to study psychology counseling?
From a person who likes to observe someone's mental mind, how would knowing the mind, and knowing why someone does what they do help them in the future and make them become a better person. How will talking to someone and hearing their problems help you become a better person? How can sympathy create change in ones action. What makes a person unstable, and what makes a person want to become isolated? #school #counselor #social #therapy #counseling #worker #high #marriage
How difficult is it to keep yourself from becoming emotionally drained as a psychologist?
I have always been an empath, and I love nothing more than to talk people through their problems and help in any way I can. Sometimes, though, I find myself almost "absorbing" the negative emotions and energies in the people I'm talking with. I want to become a professional psychologist, most likely a therapist with research side-work, and I'm wondering how others in this profession avoid becoming "drained" when they see emotionally troubled people all day long? This is what I want to do more than anything, but I want to ensure my own mental health as well. How do I achieve this work-life balance? #psychology #therapy #counseling #neuroscience #work-life-balance #mental-health #mental-health-counseling #empathy
During what year of college should I start looking for internships?
I am currently a freshman in college and almost every week my inbox would be filled with emails concerning job fairs, company presentations, and other possible career opportunities. I do not want to stress myself out, but the massive emails are getting me anxious and worried over my progress. I want to know at this stage is it significant to get an internship or should I wait a few more years to start looking for one. #career-counseling #internships #counseling
