I am in a RUT!
I am debating on what I want to do for the rest of my life. I have gone to school for ECE and realised I dont like it at all. I am 20 and do not want to go to school fro long. i found a career counsellor Diploma program that takes 14 mths. My question is to ALL career counsellors or people who know career counsellors? What do they do? What is a day in the life of a career counsellor? What are the hours like? What are the benefits like? What are some challenges?
I found that working as an ECE i hated working from 10-6 becasue in the future if I have a family I would like to be home making dinner by 6 not leaving work. Another thing I didnt like about ECE was the illnesses, children are very germy. Back injuries are VERy likely to happen at daycares. So those are the major problems that made me switc career plans? What do you know that could help me finalise a decision?
Once you become a Career Counselor, then you'll be in the rut. Half the career counselors out there couldn't decide what they wanted to do, so...
In fact half of the psychologists out there became psychologist because they thought they might fix their own problems.
How do you expect to counsel people on careers when you can't decide for yourself?
I recommend that you examine yourself.
Ask yourself what you want to do?
What is going to be an enjoyable and satisfying day in the life of your career?
The challenge you face now is choosing your career not settling for one that might not take very long to get. [ Eros's advice column | Ask Eros A Question ]
