Working Conditions for Counsellors/Therapists in Canada

[Sara Avon]

Hi there,

I had a few questions for counsellors in Canada that I hoped you could answer for me.

-    How many weeks vacation do you get/take per year?

-    Do you find it to be possible to go part-time in this profession (i.e. if you have young children)?

-    What salary did you make when you entered the profession, and how significantly did this change with years of experience?

-    Do you find the career-choice overall to be worth it for the years of study and money invested in gaining your qualifications?

Any insights are appreciated!
