I am currently a student and finishing up a counseling course I had to take before they would give me my AA and let me transfer and one of the assignments was to go online (or email/call/etc) and ask a some questions of someone in the field you plan to work. I am hoping that someone here will be willing to bear with me and answer the questions as it is a lot of stuff to write while on the phone. :p
