There really is no shortage of inspiring quotes from great leaders who believe that helping others is the best thing anyone can do. are a great way of helping people, allow you to practice at a high level and are not as limiting as you might think.
From Voltaire, to Buddha, and Gandhi to van Gogh, all of them felt that being in the service of people is something really important. But Martin Luther King sums it up best when he says that “life’s most urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” Helping people who have perhaps suffered trauma, loss or any other stress is a highly rewarding career.
In a world as troubled as the one we live in, some people find it incredibly difficult to cope. And for many of them, all they need to get back on their feet is the help, sympathy and empathy that compassionate people have - perhaps like yourself. But proper training makes the process of getting these unfortunate people to a point where they can cope that much more efficient.
When you decide to do your training to enter into this compassionate field of psychology and counselling you aim to give people a fighting chance. At Varsity College, we aim to do exactly the same for you. This degree will give you an excellent chance to pursue your goal and we’ll make sure to put you in touch with employers through our Career Centre.
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail"
