<p>While sociology is a wonderful major it does not lead to counseling as a profession. If counseling is a career consideration psychology is a better choice for major.</p>
<p>I agree that councling is a better from psych, but a major trend it sociolgists getting into the councling field (so i have read)</p>
<p>It may be that students who major in sociology go to grad school to puruse a Masters or Doctorate in counseling psychology (There are different names for the masters equivalent of a MA in counseling). Given the subject matter of sociology why would a sociologist want to or be prepared to be an individual counselor? As sociologists look social insituitions and groups, they would be better prepared to serve as consultants to organizations than to counsel individuals. I would be interested if you have a reference about sociologists entering the counseling field.</p>
