advice or chit-chat

[jennifer jeanette edge]

Hello everyone.

I am a junior undergraduate that plans to become a genetic counselor.  I 
have a fellowship with Dr. Helmut Kramer this summer and I was wondering 
if anyone has heard of his work or has any advice for a future 
geneticist.  

  Will I have a hard time finding a job after a two year genetic 
counseling program?  Will it be hard to work toward a Ph.D. while working 
as a counselor?  Is a two-year program considered a "cop-out" among the 
science community?

  Thanks for any advice.
