[humanser] Questions

Thu Aug 25 01:26:35 UTC 2011

Hello. I also work in the disability services in higher education setting. I 
am the director of disability services at Hamline University. I just started 
there in June. Prior to that, I was the director of disability services at 
Bethel University for 11 years. Our shop is not big like Natasha's which 
means I do a lot of everything including supervising student workers, 
helping develop university policy, ensuring compliance, working with 
individual students, and a number of other things. I've also taught some 
classes over the years. Our super busy season is coming up. It is a great 
career and I use my counseling skills a lot, although not with traditional 
therapy.

Natasha, I'd love to pick your brain about a few things when things slow 
down for you a bit. I'm needing to manage more of the hands-on services at 
Hamline, since I don't have an auxiliary services coordinator now as I did 
at Bethel. Anyway, maybe when things slow down for us in November. (ha ha.)

Peace
Kathy

>> 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!
