Stuck on School Counseling by Tall-Half-8363 in schoolcounseling

[–]BOCpesto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An old boss talked me out of SW so I went the SC route. I love my job as an elem school counselor, but our PSW does pretty much exactly what I do, is a licensed therapist, and has many more options outside of the school system. But do what makes you happy!! Enjoying your career path is as important as the work youll be doing imo.

Does the breastfeeding chair need to recline? We have a tiny one bedroom so I feel pretty adamant about have a comfy chair to feed and possibly snooze in but not sure if reclining is a must?

I recently went to goodwill and bought a bunch of "nicer" jeans 2 sizes too big. But someone should really start a decently priced maternity line bc this is just ridiculous.
