Well, I'm only in H.S., but I have a decent feel for what I want to do when I grow up. I'm thinking military because I would love to serve my country and I think I would be good at it and have fun too. The two main branches I am leaning towards are the Coast Guard and Navy, CG a little more. But I have another "passion" you may call it at looking at colleges. I don't know why but ever since I was in like 5th grade I liked to go to different colleges websites and see what majors the offer, what they specialize in etc... So I'm thinking more of a college counselor, but I could be a regular guidance counselor too(I'm thinking more H.S.).
So I guess the main gist of my question is, do I have to major in something specific? I want to major in Poli Sci, but I could double major in Counseling and go back and get a masters. Do I have to be certified?
Also, how intriguing of a hire would I be: 20 years of military service with counselor certification(I'm an Eagle Scout too, if that helps any), but I would start out salary wise like a 24 year old, fresh out of grad school?
Comments, feedback?
Thanks, sorry for the long, maybe confusing read.
