What Kind Of Jobs Can I Get With A Master’s Of Education In Guidance Counseling?

I am considering enrolling in an online course in Master’s of Education with a specialization in Guidance Counseling. I do not want to be a teacher. I want to work in administration in a Community College or Junior College. The program says that it prepares me to work in a PK-12 setting. Does that mean that this degree will not be attractive to employers at a Community College? Should I be looking at programs that specialize in Adult Learning/ Education? I haven’t seen too many programs for Adult Learning, and it seems like a Master’s in Education is usually for PK-12… I just don’t want to take the course and then have no one want to hire me in a community college because they prefer some other kind of degree.

    Yeah, i think you should look at programs that are towards higher education counseling or maybe counselor education for higher education learning. Of course, you can just email an academic advisor or counselor at some community colleges and ask them.

    You are right. This is not the degree for your goals.
    You may want to look at masters degrees in guidance counseling (not psychological counseling). You may not find the best degree opportunity unless you can move out of your area, depending on what’s available there. I would not pursue the degree you need on line as I do not believe it would lead to the employment you want. I would suggest that you try to talk to a few people who are doing the job you want and find out their educational background.
