I’m looking at going back to school soon to get my masters in counseling or psychology. I’ve decided that I really want to help people, because I’ve always been passionate about inspiring others. College, marriage, and drug/alcohol counseling/psychology are my main interests. At least until I go back to school, I’m trying to find a job that can help me pay off my college loans for my bachelor’s degree I received in English. I figure if I can get experience under my belt now, it’ll be excellent resume material for grad school and my future career path. In addition to helping others, I also love to write. People tell me I have a profound insight into the world around me.
How could I get experience in helping others without a professional counseling/psychology degree, if at all? If not, could I at least immerse myself in the field as a counseling assistant, some type of specialist, or even a secretary with my English degree? I really don’t want to work in retail or any kind of business to pay off my college loans anymore, because it’s quite boring, not my forte’, and I feel like I’m not really taking advantage of my degree.
