I miss my old life.

[Flybye]

I have to work full time for 2 years to get my license.....

We must have different regulations than one another. I sit for the National Counselor Certification next month and then I apply for licensure once I have my score. Once that is in place, the only difference post licensure will be the next tier - I start out with an LPC and then move to LCPC with more supervised hours. In order to be a school counselor, the only thing I will have to do is apply, which I think we do at the end of the month.

Not sure I want to embark on 3rd university degree studies at this time in life.

Not thinking I want that either, ever!!

Good job "cousin"

Just trying to make the family proud

Yeah I'm completely insane. This master's program has been wild: I have 15 credit hours of 400 - 600 level biology classes.

That is just crazy. I had a couple of 16 credit semesters. Hard, hard, hard, and BUSY!!! Hang in there!

Hey Fly! Hang in there! May 8 May 8 May 8

Hey back! Thanks! Good to say Hi!

Flybye, we are in a similar program, but my license is the LMHC. I can sit for the exam once I graduate, but I can't put the "L" in front of of the MHC until I have accrued about 3,330 hours of working, post degree, with some supervision requirements, too. I am pretty sure these are state of MA requirements. With the huge number of licensed social workers, psychiatrists and PhD level therapists in this state, it was a fight just to allow masters level clinicians in counseling practice and get on insurance panels. The school counselor program is a totally different track here, where you have to meet state dept. of education requirements. Some of those people do a dual program, where they do one community internship, so they can sit for the LMHC exam and one internship in a school.

Go Go GO!!

I admire you students!

I perked up at a doctoral program that floated by a couple weeks ago, but the cost was a shocking $825 per unit (eek!)
