Should I pursue an MA in School Counseling or MS in Human Resources


Should I pursue an MA in School Counseling or MS in Human Resources?
I have been in HR for three years now. I have my BS in HRD. I am not sure I want to continue my education and career in Human Resources. I have always pictured myself in an academic setting, but I'm not sure teaching is for me. I feel I would enjoy a School Counseling role and it would blend many of the attributes of my job that I DO like while also providing some flexibility in hours and a better environment.

They say to go with one's passion. 'If you love what you do, you'll never have to work a day in your life' :) If not interested in HR, perhaps consider moving towards the field that would bring fulfillment. The main glitch with school counseling is whether there is a job market with so many guidance counselors staying in their jobs until retirement ;) I'm not certain if one still needs a teaching degree as well as the counselor training though here are a couple of sites for more info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'counselors' or such. http://www.schoolcounselor.org
