Q&A: I plan on getting my masters in school psychology, what kind of jobs should I look for right now?

Question by Shanana: I plan on getting my masters in school psychology, what kind of jobs should I look for right now?
What kind of jobs should I work to gain applicable experience? I’ve been doing call-center jobs for awhile now, but somehow, I don’t think being skilled at selling whozididdles is going to help me land a job as a highschool counselor.

Answer by Bill
Try governmental agencies, like probation departments or social services. They often hire psych majors. They just don’t pay well. Good experience though.
