Last class for EDCO 215 today. My group did a presentation on multicultural counseling, we discussed our genograms, and got back our journals. Dr. Beach, still pregnant (due next week) said we'd done a good job and that she looked forward to seeing us in the future.
I'm having my end of class scruples, which are not positive,
I've demonstrated that I can do post-graduate work (at San Jose State, not Stanford or UC). I definitely passed, and probably got an A. Our group presentation,(which was cobbled together at the last minute), got 40/40. Dr Beach has a reputation of being one of the most demanding lecturers in the department.
I took time to get these results, time, which I might not have in the future.
I have a lot to learn about counseling (a life-long goal)
Was it worth the time and money $$$ to learn this about myself? (Yes and I've got an in to the Counseling Education department, if I want to pursue this.)
Is it worth the time and money to get this degree which, at the most will lead to another part-time job paying about as much as I get now? (on the other hand, this could be training for a job that hasn't yet been developed/invented.)
The M.A. in Counseling Education is designed for teachers who are working full-time to complete within 2 years. (Is this why it didn't seem too difficult?)
This was an introductory class;there are practicum classes, which might be worth taking to see how I go.
I'd like to feel that any further study has a practical, not a theoretical outcome. I enjoy studying
