Counseling Pivot: Explore Hands-on, Collaborative Careers

This individual wants to leave counseling and find a career that uses 'brain and hands' and involves working with others. This is an excellent opportunity to pivot into fields that value their existing skills (empathy, communication, problem-solving, critical thinking) combined with practical application. Potential areas include healthcare technology (e.g., medical device support, prosthetics/orthotics, clinical application specialist), specialized manufacturing (e.g., R&D support, quality assurance), technical training, user experience (UX) research, or human factors engineering. Networking and exploring entry-level roles or certifications in these areas would be beneficial.
