about

Hello All,
I am counsellor with over 12 years experience specializing in parenting, families, youth and mental health. I answer questions in a blunt and straightforward way so if you are looking for coddling or really touchy feely type advice thats not me I provide real solutions for your problems and concrete suggestions in other words I tell you the plain truth I don't sugarcoat.

I am really worried these days with the easy access to the internet and all the false information that is out there and the fact that people believe it!! So please ask first. I don't claim to have all the answers but I can claim that NOTHING will shock me you can try though :)

I look forward to hearing you thoughts and questions.

Physical Therapy is one of the things that you can do you can also become an occupational therapist which deals with alot of ADL skills, or daily living skills like walking, cooking, self care, mobility etc.. Depending if you work for an insurance company, a hospital or privatly would depend on how much you make lowest you would make would be approx. 45000 any where up to 70,000 approx. You need a minimum or a masters degree to make "real" money which is around 6 years.

There is also the field of kinesiology (sp?) which deals with motion and how the body moves. It would also depend if you want to work with a specific age e.g. kids, elderly or anyone. On if you wanted a more specific education.

I would either talk to a guidance counsellor if you are still in high school or call the univerisity closest to your house and ask an academic advisor to steer you in the right direction for you, and they will also be able to tell you things like what kind of marks you need, for example if you want physical therapy you have to have really good marks in biology, math and science also if you would need to take AP classes.

If you are interested in other "helping professions" let me know as that is what I do and have been doing for 12 years.

Hope this helped.

Sara
