What courses in college do you have to take to have a job like yours?

Barbara Biesecker, M.S.: My position is genetic counseling. In college folks who want to pursue genetic counseling in graduate school take courses in biology, genetics, and psychology. We also recommend that they get volunteer experience counseling people in various settings. It' a great career! |
