What Next?

Today is the last day I have to attend class for my Master in Counselling. After that itis working on group project, meeting assignment dateline and practicum hours before passing out. If everything goes on well, all should be completed by April.

The question then is "What's next?" What are my choices and again which road to take? People have suggested being a trainer of some sort in addition to counselling and I have often dismissed that. I never envisage myself as a trainer but again how would I know if I don't try. Pure counselling can be draining. It is like catching people falling off the cliff as my lecturer puts it. Why not think about building a fence round the cliff so that people won't fall off? By that we mean conducting workshops on life skills etc.

So again the dilemma, again the choices? But I always refer to a scrap book which my daughter made for me as a Birthday present last year. On the first page she pasted a photograph of me pulling a trolley along Manhattan. Below the picture were the following words:

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference."
