What are some alternative more independent options that one can use a school counseling MA degree towards? I am thinking consulting… or research as I am think about perusing my PhD… but in the meantime, let me know your ideas? Thanx

You could also work as a marriage and family therapist, which is outside of school counseling. Consulting may be hard unless you have some business or analytics experience.

I think the research involved could be really compelling if you're passionate about it. Gaining your Ph.D. would certainly make finding an alternative position easier, and maybe give you time to help you decide which path is right for you. I certainly would have chosen research if I could go back to university.

It helps to have some experience for consulting, at least if the consulting will be in school counseling, so keep that in mind. Research should be pretty well-funded and thus teeming with opportunities for the next couple years at least. (We're currently on a mental healthcare kick in the US.) Might be a good time to take advantage of that while it lasts.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through.

Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
