[humanser] Grad School And Input From List

[Cook, Shannon]

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.
