[humanser] counseling and social work

[JD Townsend]

Hello:

Don't go into a field because you feel that a blind person could do it, go 
into a career because you are called to it;  the blind issues will folow you 
everywhere you go as it is a part of you, but you just go where your own 
will sends you.

If speech & language therapy is your calling - go for that and if you 
believe in yourself, it will be.

If psychotherapy calls to you, go there.

For me, I see the Human Services Division as the place for all the 
therapies, even OT & PT.

Looking way back in my career, yes, even into the 70s & 60s, I found myself 
searching for my best career choice.  I went into teaching, theater, Speech 
Therapy, Library Science, and, at long last, to Clinical Social Work.  May 
your journey be shorter than mine!

Know, too,  that a harvard Business School study showes that most 
professionals change career direction at least 7 times over a lifetime.  So, 
choose away, but know that there are no wrong choices, each one will enrich 
you.
