Career in guidance counseling?
I was wondering what a job in guidance counseling is like (both in the elementary and high school levels)? Is it a lot less stressful than a teaching job, or does it depend?

- Less stressful. Most of them don't work at all.
- if you decide to go into the counseling field, you should consider many things. It, at times, could make you feel very stressed out, about equivalent to becoming a teacher. A guidance counselor, for high school, is usually more stressful than elementary. A high school counselor has to help Seniors with college applications, SAT info, scholarship info, and a bunch more. Then, they would have to help prepare the 9th, 10th, and 11th graders who are college bound. (plus all the schedule changes throughout the year). I'm a junior in high school, and probably stress out my counselor way too much, so i should know about this. If you want to be a guidance counselor, go for elementary, unless you like a challenge. Hope my answer helps you decide your future better!
