 | I am currently working towards attaining my Masters degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy; however, I was thinking that I may wish to get an additional Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. I was wondering if anyone could help me by telling me what a Rehabilitation Counselor does, what type of settings they predominantly work in, and what additional certifications can help me with this dream.
Any information can and will help!
Oh...
And what is the difference between an occupational therapist and a rehabilitation counselor?
Thank you for your help in advance!

 | I work in the field of developmental disabilities, and I love my job, but it just doesn't pay enough to support my family. I am looking into getting my Masters to be an occupational therapist or rehabilitation counselor, but I want to really understand what these jobs entail in the day-to-day. I have a better grasp on occupational therapy than rehab counseling. Can anyone help me?

| Is a doctorate degree required to work as a school psychologist or as a rehabilitation counselor? What are the advantages of obtaining a PHD vs. just a Master's?

| I have had a history of job jumping. I have never been employed longer than 8 mths. Now I have been out of work for 3 years because of my trying to get well due to my major depression. I have a Vocational rehabilitation counselor and a employment specialist. But no one wants to look any further than my resume. I have experience in material handling(forklift certified). History of shipping/receiving and distribution 5 years worth. I have a family to take care of and I am desperate to fix this. But how and who?

 | I interviewed for a rehabilitation counselor position with the Department of Corrections a few weeks ago. I received a call about two days ago from a lady requesting my W-2 forms for a background investigation that she was conducting on me. Does that mean that this company is looking at me to hire or could they be looking at me and some other people too. I don't know what to think at this point. I want to know if I have the job though.

 | I have a college degree with a background in journalism, nonprofit advocacy work and customer service. I have been downsized from nonprofit in 2005 and was ill-matched for a payroll position in a corporate environment that overstressed me, so I resigned for my health. I am not ill, very independent and have a lot of qualifications, but realize that I may have to resort to entry level work to get my foot in the door. I'm very willing to do that. I've consulted professionals to polish my resume, have taken continuing education classes in Spanish and grant writing, and seek the consultation of rehabilitation services counselors, career counselors and staffing agencies. Still, I'm having trouble finding work beyond part-time at the local movie theater. I really want to keep my experience professional and my salary gainful beyond minimum wage. I've posted my resume on several job boards and continue to look every few days, if not daily, for work. What now?

 | I've always wanted a job as an animal caretaker/trainer (NOT a vet) such as those seen on shows like "Growing Up" on Animal Planet. However, I've had a hard time finding out any information about this job, such as the official job title, job requirements, average pay, etc. If there is any information people have from experience, or if anyone knows any resources for additional information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! =)

 | Hello, I am about to finish my BA in Sociology and a minor in Spanish and I have learned about many people wronged in our society and even though it may be cheesy I want to help people in the world in a way that will really change society. I know Lawyers have more power however, I am worried about corruption. Mostly, I really want to help make some legal changes to help people who are discriminated against and give them good legal advice and help these groups elevate themselves socially. Which type of lawyer does this kind of work? It doesn't matter if it is highly compensated as long as it makes a good change. Rehab counselor sounds like a chill job that will also help many people who need to find work right now and are struggling with unemployment. Which career will make the biggest positive change in people's lives?

 | I want to do something related to psychiatry (im most interested in gender identity and sexuality), but I'm not sure what exactly I'd need to do. I've heard some say that you need a full phD and others that say all you need is a masters.
Does anyone know on average how many years of schooling are needed become a mental health counselor?
Thanks
