I'd like to further my education and I feel like at the age of 27 I should know what I want to do by now and I don't have a clue. Do any of you have experience with seeing a career counsellor? What kinds of things take place during the session? Was it helpful to you or anyone you know? I appreciate any feedback on this topic, thanks.

I'm 27 and in the same boat. I decided I'm just going to win the lottery and travel around and that will settle it I've never seen a career councillor before though so sorry can't be helpful but I would imagine they would start by finding out about your interests and personality and things like that to then guide you through to what you'd like to do

I was thinking they probably have you fill out some sort of questionair to figure out your personality type and interests. If I decide to go, I will shed more light on the discussion hopefully to help others who are curious.

it does not work on everybody, i mean,all depend on your interests. if you want a further edu,you must give up some things you have now . but it is sure that,if you choose one way ,you should not regret

I hope to not have regrets, I think this is why I've held back until now because I don't want to make the wrong decision. Thanks for commenting.

I prefer taking myself to a counselor when ever I feel like no matter what the issue is. As far as studies is concerned, yes that too is a field which needs more often than not. It may not necessarily be a professional counselor I always look for. I take advices from my experienced family members in this field who have had been successful. I go to my favourite teachers with whom I feel comfortable nomatter when they had taught me. Counseling I feel is nothing but making your mind crystal clear and helping you to come on a conclusion.
