A lot of people major in psychology in college, but actually becoming a psychologist is very, very hard.
"Guidance counselor" is on the short list of things you can do with less than a PhD in psych.

Thats on my list of the many careers I may have in the future
I like helping people figure things out, which might be why I like yahoo! answers so much lol
It might also be because my guidance counselors sucked and gave me absolutely no help, so I want to compensate for that.

Where I live, most counselors were once classroom teachers. They want to be counselors to get out of the classroom, get a few more dollars and to help children as best they can, not in any particular order!

Because they're afraid to take risks themselves, but they love to tinker with the futures of others.
If they were willing to put forth any real effort, they'd become social workers or psychologists.

Because people have something to talk about: their experiences, ideas which may be similar or different to another... which they may share and could help another... God bless! c",)
