school vs guidance counselors

I enjoyed hearing about school counselors again from Dr. Holly Nikels. (Dr. Sandra Watkins class) I grew up in the era of guidance counselors and I remember taking some quiz on what kind of career I was supposed to have an aptitude for.  Also, what colleges would help me gain a degree in that career.  That is about the only time in 3 years (10-12 grade was high school at that time) I remember ever going to that office.  I liked the idea of a school counselor having weekly half hour sessions with each grade and using a curriculum such as friendship, cyber bullying, etc.  Sort of "preventative maintenance" you might say. I like the energy Holly projects when she talks about her subject matter.  You can tell she is passionate about her job.
