Very Useful Resource - Career Exploration/Job Entry

When I picked up this book, I was planning a career change with a goal to work in some sort of therapy or counseling setting. But, I wasn't sure - what is the difference between psychology, counseling and social work, with respect to my goals? I had read some books on psychology jobs, and some on social work jobs, but none had addressed this. I picked up this book, which gives a great discussion about different types of counseling careers, and found that it specifically compares and contrasts counseling to social work, psychology, and psychiatry. I found this EXTREMELY useful in defining my education and career goals. The book also discusses job titles, responsibilities, outlook, salaries, education, certification, and licensing for many different types of counseling jobs. Highly recommended for anyone exploration careers in counseling or related fields!
