I want to go to school to earn an associates in applied science degree in human services. I really want to be a drug and alcohol counselor or work in a womans shelter. I have a sincere desire to help people, and I want to do something that makes a difference in people's lives.
My question is this...I'm not sure if I would be cut out for this kind of job because of me personality type. I'm kinda shy and quiet, especially around new people, and I have a fear of speaking in front of a group of people.
Is this something that I can be taught to overcome while in school, or should I just forget about my dream?
