[humanser] Grad School And Input From List

[Justin Williams]

Absolutely, if you state won't pay for it right away, ask what you need to
have them do so. VR is supposed to assist you with obtaining the highest
level of competitive employment as possible for your prospective field, and
for your career goals.  Be decisive in your career goals.

Hi,

I had my state's VR program pay for my MSW.  I had to fight for that to be
done, but persistence was the key.

Good day friends,
As was stated previously, if you can provide justification that graduate
school is pertinent in your field to find a job,  they should pay for it..
In working with VR, some degrees they automatically view the field as a
program in which a graduate degree is necessary. I have found that if I
provided good justification and letters  from professionals who provided
justifiable  reasons for the additional schooling, that Vr would be
supportive. I attend Peabody College of Vanderbilt, an Ivy school with a
very competitive HOD Clinical Counseling program. I was one of 23 accepted
into the program last year. I think what helped me was establishing a good
relationship with my counselor and providing several  reverences from
credible resources as to the need to continue my education. I hope that
things work out for you and your situation!
	I wanted to ask you all to please continue to share your suggestions
and experiences o for someone as myself who is preparing for an internship
and practicum next year. What were some unforeseen situations you
encountered? What techniques did you use to be successful in your
interviewing and site placement? Any insight and input would be greatly
appreciated.
