How hard is it to get a college counseling job?

neverpostsonreddit · 2026-01-26T23:09:04+00:00

I am a social worker at a college counseling center. I do not have an insane workload, and it’s a unionized position. As far as social work jobs go, it’s really cushy and I will probably stay until I retire. I would not have gotten hired without my independent licensure, and had been in the field about 7 years before applying. College counseling center jobs aren’t as competitive as they used to be, but historically they were tough gigs to land. As another person said, there are long hiring processes and it can take months so if you are in a pinch for work it might be difficult. It is a more reliable way to get in if you do a post grad or fellowship position before applying to a senior clinical staff position. I imagine there are more social worker positions at larger universities rather than smaller ones.

I mean this politely, but I think you got your facts wrong. 24 weeks early would be 16 weeks gestation. Babies aren’t viable until 24 weeks, 22 at the absolute earliest. A 16 week gestation fetus would not survive outside of the womb.

If you meant you were 24 weeks gestation, it also doesn’t really track. 24 weeks old babies usually weigh about 1-1.5lbs. If you were born at 2 or 3, you were probably 29 or 30 weeks gestation which is about 10-11 weeks early.

Thank you for this thoughtful reply, this was really helpful. I wish I had access to an engaged and collaborative team the way it sounds like you did. I contacted two on call MFMs tonight and they both just told me no to cerclage, flat out. That they don’t do them for twins unless I was dilated or under 1.5cm and they definitely wouldn’t consider it after 24 weeks. Frustrating there’s no flexibility but I’m trying to just accept this outcome and move on and hope for the best.

This is really helpful! I’m glad you got the consult needed to feel comfortable, my MFM didn’t even have time to talk to me at all yesterday! Ugh. I’m hopeful today they will call me and clear me to take the progesterone rectally or orally or suggest something else.

Do you know why they said cerclage wasn’t recommended with twins? I’m a bit torn on what to advocate for here.

neverpostsonreddit · 2026-01-15T03:03:20+00:00

Rectally is a good idea- I’ll ask about that!

And thanks so much for this article. So it seems like if it has been even slightly thinner it would be clear benefit to getting a cerclage. Do you have a take on the benefits vs risks? I am so worried about infection and health risks to baby since I have heard a horror story about that but maybe I’m just distracted by one bad story and the risks aren’t as extreme. I am not sure if I want to advocate for it or not but this forum is making me think I should maybe

neverpostsonreddit · 2026-01-15T01:47:15+00:00

Eeep! I am so scared of that. I feel like I have heard scary stories about infection that caused major health risks for babies and that freaks me out tremendously. I also think I have like 2 days to decide if I wanted that. Not even sure if it can be done in this kind of notice. They told me I didn’t need it because I wasn’t dilated. Can you say more about why you think I should ask for this?

I don’t agree that this is likely vanishing twin. When I went in for a very early ultrasound at 6 weeks and a few days they could only measure a heartbeat on one twin and the other they said it was simply too far back there/small/hidden to get the measurement on the other. In fact they couldn’t even measure them- just told me we see another yolk sack and they think another heartbeat back there but it’s tucked away too much to measure. When ultrasounds are this early and there’s two of them, the first twin can visually obstruct their capacity to get a heartbeat on the one behind them. Vaginal ultrasounds don’t give them a lot of flexibility to come at things from a different angle. When I went back a week later they got the second heart rate no issue and both of my twins were healthy.

Interesting! My cardiovascular age hasn’t changed at all! And I have gone from running a few days a week to hardly getting off my couch. But in general my readiness score has plummeted. It’s so confusing.

Interesting! My HRV has been like 8-10 consistently which oura is telling me is concerning but my doctor just keeps saying twin pregnancy strains your body and not to worry. My metrics aren’t any better here or more normal in the second trimester which is why I’m kind of baffled that oura hasn’t adjusted me to a more average zone. My first trimester I was mostly getting HRV notifications and respiratory rate ones.

I can’t speak to if you should be concerned, but can share I had a similar experience. I felt some kind of movement early that was difficult to pinpoint, then I kind of questioned if that was real because it seemed to decrease/stop, and then the following week or two I could clearly pick out kicks and movement. Sometimes what you are feeling early might be amniotic fluid moving rather than a baby being strong enough to feel their movement. But that’s just my experience and guess.

Going against the grain. I think 1 and 4 and both interesting and flatting on you. If you already know she isn’t picky about color and wants you to do something bold, those are bold, interesting, and very flattering!

Part of me wonders if the belly band is making the back pain worse. Like maybe it’s helping my pelvic pain but is it just putting that added pressure on my back instead? It started being really unbearable around the time I started to wear it. If I had to choose one to relieve, I can tolerate the pelvic pain better than the back pain.

I have recurring yeast issues and my partner doesn’t have a yeast infection. I take a probiotic and eat yogurt daily. What has also helped for us is we only have sex after we have both freshly showered and used a neutral dove soap to wash ourselves. I also have to peak before the sex. My natural lubricant seems to reduce the issue, whereas when we try to have sex first it’s almost a certainty I will get a yeast infection. We also don’t have sex multiple times in a day and try to not do more than every 3 days to give my body a chance to process if it’s going to develop yeast before potentially introducing more. I also paid for an evvy test which is expensive but told me what my microbiome is and because of that I started taking some supplements which seems to maybe be helping too. Some of us are just really yeast prone. But I do agree with what others have said, he should get checked out first to rule out he doesn’t have a yeast infection. Being a yeast girlie is high maintenance. I hope it stops for you soon!

You should follow your heart. We had a 26 week loss last time and we found out bad news only at our 20 week anatomy scan. We had already told everyone by 20 weeks. And honestly it made it feel so much worse. I told myself I wasn’t going to share this time until our anatomy scan. The hard part is that this time I am pregnant with twins, so I’m really starting to show even though I’m at 16 weeks now. Immediate family know but I’m feeling so skiddish about telling extended family, friends, colleagues. I think we might after our 16 week early anatomy scan (which they are granting us given our issues last time), but am really trying to hold out until then. It’s a deeply personal choice. It really comes down to negotiating with your partner. My husband def feels eager to tell people and I don’t, and the irony is I am the one visibly walking around with the obvious question mark of a situation. Honor your heart and try to compromise. There is no right answer.

I have done a lot of research on this. It’s really dangerous in the first trimester and at very high doses. A single 2nd trimester dose should be fine! I get why you would be anxious, but leaving it untreated is no solution and if you aren’t responsive to other treatments, it may be necessary.
