Flybye,
I am in a MA program in clinical mental health counseling. I was a teacher for 30 years, so I already have a master's in ed., so this is a career change. I am in the "wholistic" counseling track, and I want to work with adults with wellness/health issues, maybe eating disorders/weight management.
I did my second role play this morning and it went well. A lot of what I have done is transferrable, so I'm not too freaked out. The rest of my classes start next week. It's going to be a lot of work.
I am the oldest or second oldest in this group of people (54). There is one other person my age, but quite a few are in the 30-40 range. And yes, there are 2 students who went to high school with my 26 year old son! I did not go out drinking with them!
Lesley University is really a unique school. There very diversity aware, so everyone is quite different.
