Educational Programs Counselor Job Questions & Answers

I'm currently a college sophomore deciding majors. I'm thinking of getting my bachelors in psych and then applying to grad school to get my masters in education specializing in school counseling. My school has a school counseling graduate program (Hunter College in NYC). I want to become a high school counselor. Are secondary school counselor jobs secure in the economy? Are there good prospects? How competitive are the school counseling grad programs? Are they tough to get into?

He is 19 and a good kid and nice looking too but he has no self assurance at all. He goes in someplace to ask about a job and every time he comes out looking rejected. He has turned in applications all over town and also applied online to quite a few. He is getting so discouraged that no one has called him. Please don't suggest any work at home jobs. Thanks for your help.

I want to become a community college counselor but I'm not sure what to get my BA in. I know I need to go to Grad school and get a Masters in educational counseling or something similar. but I'm uncertain what would be best to get a Bachelors in. I don't care to study psychology because it's program content is mainly conducting research. (but if it's the best route, then I'll do it). Right now i'm considering human development(with emphasis in counseling) at Cal State San Marcos, sociology,(possibly psychology), or communications at San Diego State University.I've been admitted to both schools and uncertain which path to go. Any suggestions?
