Working with juveniles

[enayes]

Anyone here have any experience working with juveniles? I recently finished up my Master's degree in Special Education but I don't think I want to teach. I have been looking into jobs working with juveniles and it seems like interesting work.

I have a friend who works in education with special needs children, seems like a really tough job. Going by his stories I couldn't take it. What kind of work with juveniles do you mean? There's a lot of different jobs working with kids....

Congrats on completing your degree.

Do you have the patience for working with juveniles? A cousin of mines is a counsellor for at risk youth in Long Beach california and he says it really tests his patience at times, but is rewarding. His upbringing was rough though so he was naturally drawn to it

I currently work with autistic students aged 11-21 who regularly show aggression and I enjoy what I do.

As for juveniles, I've been looking at counselors, parole officers, detention officers, etc. Pretty much anything that an education degree would qualify me for, which seems to depend on the state.

AH so you mean like juvenile delinquents? My friend works with a lot of autistic kids but mainly younger, I think it's like 5-12 year olds. He's said it's rewarding seeing improvements in some kids but when they get worked up it sounds really depressing and sad.

You can probably steal a little autistic kid's shit pretty easily.

I've done after school mentoring and anti gang shit for years.
Not sure what you want to know.

I have work with juveniles and I like it a lot. I used to do some mentoring and help them with their homework. It is one of those experiences were either you like it or you don't.

I've worked in a couple different group homes. It's fun but takes patience.

With a master's degree you could probably do a lot of different things.
