Is A Human Services Associate Degree even Worthwhile?

Question by Gottcha: Is A Human Services Associate Degree even Worthwhile?
I’ve had previous experience counseling adolescents sometime ago within a small AODA treatment center. Now am thinking about going back into this field after obtaining an associates degree in human services and becoming a certified AODA counselor.

Does a human services associates degree provide a livable salary?

If you want money, I’d suggest something else. The most successful counselors (in terms of helping people and personal satisfaction) are those who refuse to do anything else, and adjust their standard of living accordingly.
