Drug Abuse

My local community college offers a Diploma in Addiction Counselling (Human Services). Is it easy to find a job with a degree of it? I know that a degree in psychology, I heard, it's usually a lot of good jobs in psychology, unless your physician. Thinking about applying for this course, any help would be appreciated. go ahead man. it will be useful, but it is much more than take the associate degree is a clear need for substance abuse counselor. The question is whether it is the jobs concerned. Likely employers include government agencies, health and social service agencies. You can ask for advice and people who work in the prospect. Ask your recruitment agency or a college teacher a few numbers. It will probably study psychology or other social sciences in your program, the difference is that your work is likely to be focused on the area. You would probably work for someone with professional training in psych, social work, etc. A university bachelor's degree psych program is more theoretical, research training in clinical psych help your knowledge (among others). Yes, you must have a master's or doctoral degree in education for undergrad psych - and admission to grad school is competitive. The advantage of the advanced training is that you can act as an independent professional and get more senior positions. (Another alternative is professional social work) just enough to really learn about the subject and effective treatments. Could probably do a job in the field, but it will not be a good position, you probably have a lot of experience. So maybe you can go up the ladder, and not too high, because you know at least a master psych major .
