i trust that you’re a good listener and can give advice- but you will always be expected to have a degree in some level of psychological studies. There are also lots of legalities that you couldnt even imagine- concerning what can and cannot be said to a student- what will and won’t make certain parents upset- that could land the county school system in a lawsuit- this is why many systems require a college degree, serious references- and usually experience- it’s very different and carries alot more responsibility than say… when you’re dealing with adults out of an office of your own….

good luck:)

To be a principal generally requires that you have a Bachelor’s degree and teaching experience of at least two years — and a Master’s degree in Educational Administration or Leadership.

Your best bet is to check with a local university because requirements vary by state.

Best of luck — but despite being smart, training is necessary to do either job effectively.

don’t be fooled, it takes alot of work and dedication to become a school guidance counselor.

good luck to you.
