Student Affairs VS Community Counseling?

I have my Masters in College Student Personnel, which is similar to a Master's in Student Affairs. Although my degree was counseling-based, in retrospect I wish I had gone a route that would have allowed me to pursue licensure later on. If you are positive that you want a career in higher education, then a counseling-based College Personnel degree would be the way to go, as you will have a greater focus on higher education theory and practice. However, if you want to remain open, then it sounds like the Community Counseling route is the way for you. Just try to have some exposure to college students (maybe by getting an istantship in an academic advisement office or or doing your practi in the college counseling department).
