Role Models

Name:
Christina

Title:
Community College Counselor
I do personal counseling, academic counseling, and career 
counseling with college students.

Path:
I always liked working with people, and I always liked school.  
I thought it would be a great combination to work with people in 
an academic setting.  I started out by majoring in Psychology at
college.  Then I worked for the college I graduated from helping
students who were interested in applying to school.  That work
inspired me to go on to graduate school, so I could earn a degree
in Counseling.  I decided that I wanted to work in a school setting
so that I could constantly be around people who were eager to learn.
I really enjoy my work.

Comments:
If your school has a peer helper program, you might want to join.
It will give you some insight into whether this type of job may be
for you.
