I was wondering what a job in guidance counseling is like (both in the elementary and high school levels)?
Is it a lot less stressful than a teaching job, or does it depend?

if you decide to go into the counseling field, you should consider many things. It, at times, could make you feel very stressed out, about equivalent to becoming a teacher. A guidance counselor, for high school, is usually more stressful than elementary. A high school counselor has to help Seniors with college applications, SAT info, scholarship info, and a bunch more. Then, they would have to help prepare the 9th, 10th, and 11th graders who are college bound. (plus all the schedule changes throughout the year). I'm a junior in high school, and probably stress out my counselor way too much, so i should know about this. If you want to be a guidance counselor, go for elementary, unless you like a challenge. Hope my answer helps you decide your future better!

Less stressful. Most of them don't work at all.
