Question: I want to be a counselor. Should go to school for social work or psychology? 

Answer: I would recommend psychology if you want to do counselling as the ideas and practices are based on various psychological principles - you should also look at the professional body for counselling in your home country and ask them for a list of qualifications, career routes  and courses.
