AODA Counselor Degree Advice?
Question by Green: AODA counselor degree advice?
Hi there. I want to become an AODA counselor, I was wondering, hopefully for some advice from real AODA counselors, how is the schooling money/studying-wise? Is it worth the job? (Im sure I will find the job more than worthwhile no matter what, I don’t care for money, I want to help people more than anything)
What does the school consist of and how many years should I plan on going?
thanks in advance.

If by AODA counselor, you’re referring to an “alcohol and other drug abuse” counselor, which is most likely similar to the credentials of CAC (certified addiction counselor) or CADC (certified alcohol and drug counselor), then obtaining a master’s degree can make a person more marketable in the field.
What Jobs in the Criminal Justice Field Are to Help People?
Question by Courtney: What jobs in the Criminal Justice field are to help people?
I’m strongly considering majoring in Criminal Justice, but I have to buckle down and decide on a career. I know that I want to help people, like reach out to them, sort of like a counselor, but I don’t want to be a Corrections counselor. I know I want to help people who have been through violence and etc. Is there a position where they have that job description? (General suggestions help, but not too general lol)

Careers in criminal justice are many and varied and continued growth is expected in the field. Growth among careers in law enforcement and investigation is reported at 22 percent, an above-average gain, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The same published report projects 9 percent growth among probation officers and corrections personnel. This projection represents an average growth rate, but growth just the same.

Forcing your beliefs on your child is cruel, no matter what they are. Educating your child about different beliefs and allowing them to make their own choices is the way to go.

What’s the Basics of Scientology? What Are the Different Levels and the Weird Alien Names I Hear About?
Question by E: What’s the basics of Scientology? What are the different levels and the weird alien names I hear about?
I’m just a bit curious about it. Also, what’s the deal with the hatred of medication? Is it just meds for psychological issues or are there other medications that they are against? Why? Do they have holidays that are recognized by the US government? Example: could they legally get a “religious” day off of work just like other religions? If so, what are those holidays and what are they celebrating? Does the church of Scientology have a stance on abortion?
Okay, I guess I’m a lot curious about it 🙂
