Newly Depressed-
Where are you in Georgia? I just started my School Counseling
program and live in Georgia now I'm nervous! Did you not have
any luck with the school you interned with? Just curious to
hear more about where you've applied and what the market is like.
I'm in Atlanta, northern suburbs.
Thanks, and good luck!
p.s. were you a teacher prior to becoming a school counselor?
