How do I break into the mental health field?

Katie K asked:


I am a 22 year old college grad with a BS in psychology and a concentration in criminal justice. I really want to pursue a career in counseling, but I know I have to go to graduate school first. In the mean time, I’d like to get some experience in the mental health, or even just health care field. What are some reliable options for getting my foot in the door of the health care field?

   Lots of jobs in behavioral health. Any state agency would give their eye teeth for you.
