Is taking a semester off for an internship a good choice?
As part of my school's Accounting and Taxation Honor Program, there is a requirement to take the winter semester of our senior year off for an internship. This internship will give me an insight into the accounting field as well as possibly landing me a job after college. All my financial aid will be intact and still there, but a lot of people are telling me it is not worth taking a leap semester. They said it will be better if I finished my education first and look for internships during the summer on my own. If you are in my shoe, how will you go about this decision? #accounting #career-counseling #internships #career-choice #career-path #accountant #career-development #school-counseling

Honor Programs, are they important to employers?
I am an accounting major that is and have attended multiple networking clubs and events. One of the professor of an event said that I should join as much honor programs as possible. He suggested to join the accounting honor society as well as the accounting & taxation honor program at my school. However, another professor asserted that honor programs are unnecessary. What employers want to see the most are clubs like ISACA, where one-on-one conversations with professionals are possible. He also remarked that taking a semester off to do the internship required by the honor program is a waste of time. Internships should be completed during the summertime. In the end, I am conflicted and wonder if honor designations/programs matter to employers? #career-counseling #school-counseling #employers

Do school counselors' role vary depending on the grade of school they are working in?
I want to know if a school counselor's role differ in an elementary school, middle school, high school, and college due to students' age and their behaviors. I can see a school counselor in a middle school would likely to deal with behavioral issues where as high school can be different. #education #school #guidance-counselor #school-counseling #school-counselor
