biggest problem with most guidance counsellors is they live in the bubble of school and don't bother to see what is going on in the world that could really benefit kids.

I had the audacity to tell my guidance counsellor that I was considering being a lawyer. His response was to suggest that I should be taking home economics and focusing on what matters to a girl.

I didn't take home ec. I also didn't become a lawyer but I would return to school later and become an engineering technician. That had some interest for this woman. Now I'm more interested in writing.
