I have been working in a special position in my city at a high school. I am a counselor/ youth advocate. I have hundreds of training hours but no official license. I have a bachelors and am thinking of moving to Raleigh in about one to two years. Anyone have atips for a guy who wants to work in a school setting as a counselor, who has a coaching certificate, plenty of life experience, four years paid in the field, and wants to go to college to get his Master's?

Sounds to me you are a great candidate for teaching. What type of bachelors do you hold? Have you thought about alternative certification? For instance, if your BA is in business you can enter into a "fast track" program that provides the opportunity to earn a teaching certificate. I am not a big fan of the program due to the absence of specialized educational/psychology /childhood development classes. However, quality teachers are badly needed all over the country and the alternative certification program helps to meet that need. By the way, if you land a teaching position and at the same time, return to college to earn your Masters, look into funding programs that will help or pay all of your tuition.
I am a teacher. I wish you all the best.
