STATUS Full-Time/Part-Time Part-time work was defined as less than 25 hours per week for purposes of this study. Only 14% of counselors work part-time in their primary position. Many counselors do hold a secondary part-time position.
SECONDARY POSITIONS Secondary Positions Overall, 34% of counselors hold a secondary position outside of their primary counseling position. Counselor educators are most likely to hold a secondary position. Private Practice is the most frequently held secondary position.

CONCLUSIONS The benefits offered by employers to counselors are, in many cases, much better than what is available to the typical employee in the United States. Those who stay with the profession are generally rewarded with higher earnings over time. One in three counselors pursue their passion for helping others not just through their day jobs, but through second jobs, such as private practice and adjunct teaching. Private practitioners frequently take care of all aspects of business management, meaning they need to learn business skills, such as accounting.
