> Have any of you been to a career counselor, taken tests to see what kind of career would best fit your interests and skills? I'm interested in hearing about experiences...is this something you found helpful?
>Yes! I went to a career counseling service, took a bunch of tests, tested high in areas I had never considered, went to graduate school, but by the time I got my degree I was too disabled from depression and other things to work.
I don't remember how much it cost, but it was serious money.
> I work in public relations, which is the area my degree is in, and I'm doing exactly what I was trained to do, but I don't like it. I don't like sitting behind a desk all day.
A good reason to find out if you have an aptitude for your "perfect job" before you get your degree. My husband's in PR, too, and I don't know how he can stand it.
