And what actually drives you to made a careers which to become a counselor and not something else.. What sort of challenges did u faced during the change and how did you overcome it?

For 25 years I did what I had a passion for (teaching people to ride and training horses) and barely scraped by. Physical reasons made me change careers. Today I'm a counselor for at risk kids. The job can be very high stress, but it also has tremendous intangible (sp?) rewards. The pay for the job is so-so, but I live a simple life so I don't need much. I guess I'd say that my passion for the work slightly outweighs the monetary rewards. [/COLOR][/SIZE]
