The program where I got my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology had a track in Student Personnel (or something very similar). The students in that program took the same classes as we did the first year, then branched off into different classes the second year. Their degree was less hours than ours, however. The counseling classes they took helped them to learn how to deal with people and problems, and developmental issues of that age group.
I wouldn't mind working in student affairs...it would put me close to my counseling background without having to get into the seriously mentally ill.

OK...this is kinda random, but I was looking through this thread from the beginning and totally forgot about posting in this thread in 2004 saying that I would like to work in student affairs. I actually made the career leap from psych several months after I posted that and I'm now in my 6th year as a Greek Adviser. What ultimately helped me get the job was that I could take all of my experiences in my job and my sorority volunteer staff position and show how I could use them in a Greek Advising role. My job is stressful and I work WAY more than 40 hours a week, but I love it!
