You will have to take courses in a Masters program for Counselor Education.  Contact a university near you.

You have several options.  You can major in education in college.  You need at least a BA/BS to teach at a public K-12 school.  You can either major in history or education for your  BA/BS and then do what is usually a one year MAT program, a master's degree in teaching.  People with master's degrees earn more, regardless of what their MA is in.\n\nAnother option is to major in anything (probably history for you) and then do an Alternative Teaching Certificate Program (usually called an ACP or EPI program).  This is a condensed series of classes that give you all the classes you need to get certified to teach if you don't have a degree in teaching.  Many school districts also offer their own ACP programs that you can attend (there is a cost) but the hook  is that in order to do the school district program, you have to have been hired as a teacher in the program.  Most people find they can't get hired unless they are credentialed, so it a Catch-22 but some people do manage to get hired.\n\nHope that helps!  Look on your state Department of Education website for more info on the requirements and options.  Good luck.

There are programs called Alternative Certificate Programs available for non-education majors to pursue a teaching credential.  The requirements for teaching vary state to state, so start with the Department of Education website in your state for more information.  Good luck!

If you mean "Life coaching", which I think is what a counselor is, you might look at the Wikipedia site below.

Some schools do offer associates degrees in criminology and or criminal justice.   You could always work at police stations/jails as a  attendent (guarding the prisoners) and you won't need a degree..work for a while and they will pay you to go to school..  Check with your local jails/courthouses and ask them ..They would know more than we would..we don't know where you live or anything about that area.

Check out the link below.  Common industries for people with Education degrees include educational publishing, corporate training and counseling.  You might want to consider adult education as well (it's nice to teach people who are in class voluntarily).

I assume you mean as an English teacher.  The answer is, basically, no.  If you were teaching Tagalog or something else, with qualifications including bachelor's degree at least, that would be different.  Sorry.

You will need a BS in Math and depending on your state, probably a teacher certification with it.  You can double major in many schools and have a bachelor degree in Mathematics and in Education.  If you really want a career teaching, and want it to be Math... that would be my choice.  Check on what teacher credentials are required in your state.\n\nSue

Sounds to me you are a great candidate for teaching.  What type of bachelors do you hold?  Have you thought about alternative certification?  For instance, if your BA is in business you can enter into a "fast track" program that provides the opportunity to earn a teaching certificate.  I am not a big fan of the program due to the absence of specialized educational/psychology /childhood development classes.  However, quality teachers are badly needed all over the country and the alternative certification program helps to meet that need.   By the way, if you land a teaching position and at the same time, return to college to earn your Masters, look into funding programs that will help or pay all of your tuition.  \n\nI am a teacher.  I wish you all the best.

It just depends on what type of counselor you are talking about. By counselor you mean, mental health worker, who does basic mental health work like paper work and teaching behavioral modification all you need is a bachelor in psychology or another behavioral science field. I've known people to do it with other degrees also however those are the preferable degrees. Most places expect you to have some type of experience also. \n\nHowever, if you mean a therapist, doing therapy, you need a masters degree in counseling or Social work. \n\nBy the way, if you are thinking about doing this career, you need to know you will not make a lot of money especially at the bachelors level. The behavioral science field is one of the lowest paid fields. Most jobs that require a psychology type degree start out around 22 to 25 thousand a year... sad for a bachelors degree. So basically, you better love what you are doing. For a masters level counselor you dont make all that much either unless you open up a private practice after you get your LPC.\n\nGood luck, it is a very demanding field with little to no rewards. Financial rewards are nonexsistant and emotional rewards are far and few in between.\n\nCounselorDan

You should have a bachelor's of science degree-preferrably in education/counseling and depending on the state/school, some may wish you to have your masters degree and/or certification. This can take anywhere from 3-? years....depending on how much of a course load you take each semester and how little partying you do.Look on the State's website for employment, go to the local School Board, or register with the Job Service( Employment Office) in your local area-they'll send you job info/openings that match your profile...average salary-depends on the state you're in...$30,000-$59,000 per year/depending on your qualifications and time/service.

I'm a therapist. You'll need at least a Masters Degree in counseling or social work to get started, then after about 2 years of working in the field you take various tests, I took the NCE (national counselors examination), and an ethics test. I'm not sure on the specifics about Maine. Check out this web-site; http://www.nbcc.org or http://www.counseling.org   Any under \ngrad degree in behavioral science or social work will due.

Yes.  Take an unofficial copy of your transcripts to the college of your choice and meet with an academic advisor.  Their services are free and they can help you chart your academic coursework and advise you on your classes that transfer toward their degree program/s.  \n\nIf you do not yet know what you want to do, you can meet with the college career counselor and explore your options.\n\nBest wishes.

Not much at all. I have a Bachelor's degree in psychology, and it's pretty useless. I can't think of any jobs that require an associate degre in Psychology; you'd most likely get stuck in positions that only required a high school diploma/GED. Sad, but true. If you want a more profitable degree at the Associate level, I'd suggest nursing. Many RNs also do psych counseling. \n\nThe requirements for "licensed therapist" vary by state, but usually, you need a master's degree. A master's in psychology or social work, or even mental health counseling, would do the trick, depending on where you are.
