Challenges and Rewards of a Secondary Counselor

I would think that the most rewarding part of behing a secondary counselor would be to see a student you have worked with become a successful member of society. To see, basically, a child grow to become a father, husband, business owner or leader in the community. I think the reward would be further accentuated if the said student were challenged in some way. educationally, environmentally etc. I think the most challenging part about being a secondary counselor would be the current state of this country. With the economy in it's current state, it must be difficult to attempt to plan a career for the students. And with so many out of work the tales that must be told has to be heartbreaking. As much as someone who looks to help wants to, in reality, everyone cannot be saved financially or helped to find a career. I can only imagine the level of frustration they must have currently. I know I would be frustrated.
