Learn From the Pros! In the upcoming weeks you will have a chance to learn from professionals in the support services we are studying:


 * Media Resource Specialist (Librarian)
 * Guidance Counselor
 * Student Assistance Counselor ( Crisis Counselor/Social Worker)
 * Curriculum Specialist

What type of post-secondary education do you need for a career as a support services professional? What type of personal characteristics are a good fit? How much can you earn in these positions? You will find the answers to these questions and more as you travel through the next two weeks.

Prepare for next week's speakers panel by writing four high level questions to the professional support services professionals listed below (1 or more each). Be sure to designate which questions go to which professional. These questions will be used in a panel discussion next week.
