I truly want to be honest with everyone. If you go for this degree it will either take 3 years to get a job, or never. When I graduated in 06' in New York, there were a few openings that got 800 resumes each. I know this for a fact from speaking to principals. By 2009, those few openings were totally gone. NYC froze their budget and eliminated most guidance counselors.
In 08/09 I got certified in New Jersey. My pool opened up dramatically, I started getting some interviews and administrators were only getting 150-250 resumes for 1 job. Well, I did get a job in New Jersey as a counselor for 09/10. However, now all the budgets are being reduced GREATLY in New Jersey. Most middle and elementary school counselors are getting fired to save money. I believe NJ will now become like NY.
My advice: Become a school psychologist. They are always mandated because of special education laws and you can do private practice on the side.
