A Career of Caring: Is It Right for You?

Successful human services employees come from all backgrounds and walks of life. Human Services program students at Genesee include individuals of traditional college age as well as a growing number of individuals choosing to make this field their second career.

Over the years our faculty members have learned how to identify successful students. If you answer "yes" to one or more of the following questions, you may have what it takes to be successful helping people-and to lead an accomplished career in this field:

  • Do you notice that others come to you for help when they need guidance or assistance?
  • Have you successfully worked in a job that requires you to serve others?
  • Have you served as a volunteer for an agency, church, or community group?
  • Do you experience a deep satisfaction in helping others?
  • Do you have a "sixth sense" that enables you to understand what other people are thinking and feeling?

The human services field offers numerous opportunities for skilled and caring professionals. If you believe that a human services career might be right for you, contact us. We'll help you take the first steps toward a career that touches the lives of others-and fills your life with satisfaction each day.
