[humanser] Questions

[Alicia Richards]

Hello, all.  I am not sure if this is the correct list to post my questions to, so forgive me if it is not, and please let me know if there would be a more appropriate list. 

1. Most schools require either the GRE, or GMAT. I am familiar with the GRE, though I have not taken it yet. However, I know little about the GMAT.  Can someone tell me more about it?  How is it different from the GRE?  Does it test for different academic areas?

2. The more research I do, the more confused I become. Some are telling me that the direction to go is to get my mental health counseling degree. Others are suggesting a degree in Social Work, as it offers more flexibility in the kind of job a person could get.  What are your experiences, with the differences between these two degrees?

3. Another passion of mine is rehab counseling. Up until now, I figured I needed to choose only one degree: mental health counseling, or social work, or the RC field. However, I have lately learned of several schools that will actually certify a person in both the RC and mental health fields. Does anyone on here have such a duel certification, or not?

I would greatly appreciate whatever information anyone can provide. Thanks in advance!
