Midlyfechrysalis Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I have recently graduated with my Masters in Counseling. Although my CV reflects many competitive aspects, I am not able to move. Therefore, I am not able to apply to a volume of programs. I have been rejected by 2 of my 4 programs - one of them was a stretch commute wise anyway. I am anticipating rejections on the other 2 programs given the lateness of the season. I am aware of the downsides to online Pschologist programs. I don't know if it will matter "enough" in my situation to decline. I am nearly 46, and I have 3 kids (teens). The oldest lives with his Dad and the younger 2 live with me. I am a teacher at their school (a job I love). I would not mind keeping that job (we meet university style, and next year I would teach full time 2 days, and very part time 2 days) and getting an LPC/LMFT role afternoons and evenings. If I had gotten into a Psych program, I of course would have to give that up. I could manage online classes, and the schedule and discipline. I acquired my Masters while working 2 full time jobs and attending in person (made possible because one of those jobs was at my graduate school). If I wait, I need to wait until my youngest (13) is out of school, and that puts me past 50. In my particular situation, would you consider Capella or Fielding?
