Before I went into counseling, I taught high school history
I wanted to be a counselor because the students I taught often came to me for personal problems rather than to get help with the material I taught. Haven't regretted that decision yet; I think I made the right choice.
Schools I graduated from:
Rutgers University (B.A. in history and anthropology)
Rider University (Master's certificate for high school teaching)
Georgian Court University (Master's of Education in School Counseling)
