Fed up with the teaching profession?!?

I got a Masters in Guidance and Counseling. That way, I was able to continue working with kids- which is why I became a teacher to begin with- but now I don't have the stress of the clroom. Trust me, counseling is still a stressful job, but in a different way. You have to deal with some pretty serious problems, but in the end, you are helping the kids. My only advice if you plan on doing it, try to get yourself a Middle School job. Maybe it is different in other districts , but where I am Elementary counselors are just administrators that deal with bad kids and High School counselors are Credit Checkers- just making sure they graduate. In Middle School, you actually get to counsel them!
