Careers
Jobs for school and career counselors are expected to grow by 13 percent in the next decade, based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Handbook (2018). The BLS explains that the number of school-age children is on the rise and so is the demand for professional counselors who help children plan and prepare for college or careers after high school.
