any counselors out there?

[HKsai]

Hi! In the mean time of waiting for acceptances/rejections, I'm wondering if there's any counselors out there (school, mental health, marriage and family therapy...pretty much any form of counseling or therapy) can give me some advice or just talk about the field in general. Any other people with experiences in the counseling field are welcome to join too!

 

I will start! So how's the job prospect for a male conselors? Is it harder for male counselor to find a job since males are seen as less sensitive?

I am in the social work field, and I would say that it is easier for men to find jobs in this field and related fields because there are so many women employed in this field and not very many men.  In an effort to even out the ratio of women:men and for other reasons, agencies often view men very favorably.  Of course, that does not mean that just because you are a man that you will automatically be hired, but you do have an edge.
