I looked into career counseling a couple weeks ago and they basically charge a thousand dollars for it. Just like the dating issue, the problem here is that people are expected to find out what they want to do and settle on it when they are college aged. So society doesn't really have accommodations for someone who is 25+ and still trying to find out what he wants to do.
Also, another reason I am not sure about the whole career counseling thing is that it seems it is about finding a career that matches who you are and what you want to do. I have no idea who I am or what I want to do. My passions seem to change at the blink of an eye depending on what is presented in front of me. I feel like this is more of a psychological issue that a career counselor wouldn't really be able to help with. And of course my therapist basically seems to have ripped me off. I have been with her for almost 2 years and no progress. Now she got this teaching gig and she barely has appointments available so I am basically forced to wait as long as 2 months for one. If she had let me know this is how it is going to be a few months back I would have found a new provider. But instead she gave me the impression that we would still meet on a regular basis.
