Thank you both for your replies.
@psyguy, when you say "university counseling" do you mean "college counseling" in the American sense of helping students determine which university they want to attend and guiding them through the admissions process?

If it helps, we are moving to Shanghai......

Hello! This is my firs time posting to the Forum, although I have been observing for almost a year. I apologize in advance for the lengthy intro.....
My husband and I are about to embark on our first IT placement (woohoo!), where he will be a trailing spouse. My question is in regards to his future, something we are still working on. He holds both a MSW (Masters in Social Work) and JD (which he just finished). He worked for several years as a certified social worker prior to going to law school.

Now that we are entering the IT arena, he is seriously considering trying to become a school counselor, something he would be excellent at. Does anyone have any advice regarding online programs he could do to become certified in counseling? I have looked and found some, but I would love the Forum's input on this, especially if you have personal experience.
There is no rush in terms of getting licensed, this is really more of a long-term plan to get him in a position where we can be considered a teaching couple.
I know he could easily teach English and/or History/Gov with the law degree, but he would rather be a counselor and that is where his strength is. Also, it seems to me that counselors are more in demand than English/Humanities.
Thanks in advance for your help! And thanks for all the helpful posts I've read over the past few months, they made my job search much easier and gave me hope when I needed it!
