Dear Guidance Counselor,
Do you need a college degree to become a librarian? Would it be the same degree necessary to become a teacher since the jobs are similar? I think this would be a good occupation for me and am trying to figure out where to start. Also, please let me know if I have an online education options. Thanks so much, Amy

Question:
Dear Teacher,
I would like a career where I can help people and would love to work in a school environment. I am just not sure that I want to become a teacher because I am kind of shy. I cannot imagine being able to take command of a classroom like teachers do, so I was wondering if there are “behind the scenes” positions in schools. What are some other jobs possibilities that would still allow me to work in a school [...]

Question:
Dear Guidance Counselor,
After teaching for decades I have a sudden urge to explore my options in the field and am sort of looking for the next step. This led me to consider going back to school, but I am totally out of the loop as far as university goes. What are some popular doctoral degrees in education? What is the admission process like for doctoral programs? I am sure I won’t have the time or energy [...]

Question:
Dear Guidance Counselor,
I would like to earn a degree to become a teacher but I cannot commit to a 4-year degree program. It is likely that I will need to relocate and don’t want to have to worry about transferring schools and credits so I thought an associate degree would be a safe bet. Can I become a teacher with an associate degree? What are some popular associate degree programs in education and will I need to [...]

Question:
Dear Teacher,
I really enjoy working with kids and would like a career that allows me to be with children everyday. I feel I would be best with very young children and think a preschool teacher would be the perfect career for me. I was wondering if I need a college degree to become a preschool teacher. Also, how is the job market for employment in preschools? It seems that most professions are struggling in this [...]

Question:
Dear Teacher,
I am considering earning my bachelor’s degree in education and thinking about becoming a special education teacher. The problem is, everyone I talk to seems to be trying to change my mind. I keep hearing that it is very stressful, has low compensation and entails a lot of paperwork. What can you tell me about jobs in special education? What kinds of people make good special education teachers? Thanks so much, Melinda

Dear Melinda,
Have you been listening to [...]

Question:
Dear Guidance Counselor-
Can you give me some information about becoming a teacher for adult students at a trade school? I’m not happy in my current position and am thinking about changing careers. It’s important to me to find work that I enjoy. I am very good with my hands and love fixing and repairing things around my house. The problem is, this has only been a hobby of mine and I am not sure how to turn it into a [...]

Question:
Dear Guidance Counselor,
I am a 5th grade teacher who is having a difficult time with classroom management this year–with one challenging student in particular . He is consistently trying to be the center of attention, and as a result, I spend most of my time redirecting him instead of teaching. It seems that incentives are the best way to get him to buckle down and focus, but can you give me any ideas beyond earning candy, stickers and pencils. I appreciate [...]

Question:
Dear Teacher,
I had a baby in 2011 and have recently returned to my elementary teaching job. It has been a real struggle to balance my work and home life. I don’t feel like I am doing a very good job as a mom or a teacher and am completely run-down. As my New Year’s resolution I want to do a better job at managing my work and home. Do you have any ideas on how to help me get there?
Sincerely, Ella

Question:
Dear Guidance Counselor,
I love math and want to be a math teacher, but don’t really want to work with students at the high school level. I would love to work at the elementary level, but would prefer to only teach math, as opposed to all the core subjects like elementary teachers do. Because of this, I am second guessing my decision to become a teacher. What do you think? Do I have any teaching position options at the elementary level? [...]
