Job Shadow Experience

    I conducted a job shadow/interview with a high school counselor.  She described her education to be titled a counselor as follows.  She recieved her undergraduate B/A degree in communication studies and interpersonal communications/sociology.  Her graduate degree was a Master of Education with a major in school counseling.  She also took neuropsych cources.
    She described her career relationship to psychology as providing counseling for a short term basis ( most psych counseling is long term ), and said her job uses all the " basic foundations of psych."  She also works closely with psychologist and social workers.  Many psych concentrations are part of her career, including depression and behavior.
    This is just one example of a job in the work force that uses psychology.  I would like to thank this counselor for her time.  She is excellent at what she does and a great role model for the younger psych generations.
