So many factors when narrowing down locations. One of them is where your family might live - not neccesarily the city/country but the surrounding areas and the type of dwelling. What does the day-to-day look like for a family?

Wondered if we were looking for a throwback to the 80s where we had family neighborhoods and kids biking in the streets reminicent to Stranger Things - which schools / cities would be best to take a closer look at?

Thanks!

Psy thanks - I am considering that exact programme here in Hong Kong. It's 18K USD compared to $30K USD for the Lehigh degree. Lots of pro's and con's for sure on both sides.

I do wonder outside of HK, when I apply for a counselling job, if a degree from Lehigh which seems to have a better reputation, would be impactful. If it is, then the extra 12K is well worth it. However, it is a wonder.

The licensing thing is actually my concern - moreso than the cost to be honest. IE can be quite the wild wild west for certification - and some care and some do not when hiring. But I'm not sure I want to be in a position where they ask for a certification or license and I can't say I have one (i.e. via Lehigh) - whereas in HK at least I would get a licensure.

The one other crazy thing I am considering is a Masters in Librarianship (https://ischool.sjsu.edu/master-library ... on-science) - crazy I know!

Thanks for that reply. You raise good points.

I am wondering about UK programmes and even Canadian ones.

There are a few online ones in Canada;

1) https://www.yorkvilleu.ca/programs/mast ... sychology/
2) https://www.ulethbridge.ca/future-stude ... ounselling

I am not as familiar with possible ones in the UK. Any suggestions?

I am wondering about your point on psychometrics - I wonder what programme would be best suited to getting into that field. Having a doctorate of psyc is probably the best way and establishing yourself in whatever community you happen to be in. Having seen the costs for testing it seems like quite a lucrative field.

Thanks for your reply - most appreciated.

Hi everyone - happy holidays! I'm taking the plunge and wanting to head into school counselling. I am not positive on the level yet but imagine upper primary or middle school.

I am asking for recommended online masters of counselling recommendations. I am looking for a great program, that is reasonably priced, and done in 2 years (maybe 2 1/2 but I'd rather 2)

My profile is I am not a western born person - so no US/Canada/European citizenship.

I'll stay international for the foreseeable future - and will work in Asia or Europe ideally @ International Schools.

The big programs seem to be Lehigh (https://ed.lehigh.edu/academics/degrees ... ing-online) and what ISCA seems to recommend (https://iscainfo.com/Becoming)

Right now I am in Hong Kong - and will do my practicum here as well hopefully fingers crossed.

Anyone have any recent experience or somewhere they would recommend? Thanks!
