Do you remember your high school counselor? Back when I was in high school, probably the only continuing education available to my counselor was what they took in college before they graduated with their degree. The rest was most likely learned by trial and error. If they gave you good counsel and all went well when you took it, they gave it again.

Times have changed. Youth nowadays have to go through an awful lot of temptations than their predecessors did. Today's high school counselors need to be ready to give help and advice on a number of staggering situations.

Where do they go to get that help? By periodic enrollment in continuing education for counseling courses at their local college, university, technical school or other special place of education.
