Counseling is a profession which usually requires a degree in psychology, sociology, or “guidance and counseling.” Once you have finished your degree (and often, a master’s is needed), you can enter the profession by joining an existing counseling service, work in a hospital, or, as you noted, at a school. Private counseling services deal with marriage problems, psychological problems, social problems, and a whole range of issues. Eventually, you might open your own counseling office, just as a doctor or dentist sets up a private practice. There are many career choices open to you which do not involve “high school counselor.”
