I learned VERY little of value in my 6-year PhD program and I'd feel like a huckster spending so much time doing something for credibility rather than obtaining expertise. My rule would be and is, "Go for the steak, not the sizzle."<br /><br />I'd feel that I could establish credibility by displaying my wares: my articles, a first session, etc.Marty Nemkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850388752934193821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821345570811107481.post-75160184600815660682009-08-03T06:54:27.470-07:002009-08-03T06:54:27.470-07:00Dr. Nemko,

So I have another question you may be able to answer: If you could do it all over again, knowing that you are going ot be a career counselor, would you complete the PhD? I mean, wouldn't a B.A./B.S. be enough for credibility?Shawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821345570811107481.post-77805218288943198062009-08-02T23:55:18.416-07:002009-08-02T23:55:18.416-07:00Shawn,

A spouse can plug you into numerous time-wasting social networks. She/He grows to resent you for lacking in one department or another -- i.e. domestic duties, career, children, sexual performance. Relations with offspring deteriorate over time. Many never leave the nest. My brother and I live with our parents and we're both in our 30s. It's demoralizing for all of us.... <br /><br />I am beginning to think that most of us are better off alone.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821345570811107481.post-89898774309600184302009-08-02T17:02:15.902-07:002009-08-02T17:02:15.902-07:00I admire the fact that you are self-employed.

I have always wanted to be self-employed, but I have never had the finances to cover the mortgage, etc., and was in always afraid of failure, there. <br /><br />Can a career counselor make decent money? Just curious--you do not have to tell me how much you make, but if there is an average I am curious. How many clients would you guess someone would have to have a week?<br /><br />I would like to start a hedge fun, because I like the idea that I can just as easily work in my state as I could in Europe, Mexico, you name it! I hear it costs $40k to have a lawyer draw up the docs, and I have no idea how to raise money.Shawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821345570811107481.post-57977953636984390272009-08-01T15:30:08.026-07:002009-08-01T15:30:08.026-07:00Well, like all of us, no one label fully character...Well, like all of us, no one label fully characterizes us.
