High School Counselor
I help students graduate from high school.
Every day is different. Some days your are in training. Some days your are in meetings. Some days you are listening to students talk about serious problems. Some days you are talking to parents and teachers. Some days you are listening to students talk about not so serious problems. Some days you are working on the computer and doing paperwork all day. Some days your are so overwhelmed you don't know where to start. You have to be flexible enough to change your plan based on who needs you
Here's the first step for high school students
Find a mentor in the field you want to pursue. Go visit your high school or university advisor and career center. There are lots of people out there that want to help you be successful.
