How much do a High School counselor make?

I heard that they make about $45k - 50k at the high school level, is this accurate? High School Counselors make income that is variable depending on their level of experience and the geographical region in which they are employed. The median wage for a guidance counselor in the United States is $47,530 annual. To determine the amount of pay in your location, I suggest you search your local teacher's salary chart and it will generally provide all salary information with regard to years of experience. Often teachers and guidance counselors are on the same pay scale. For more information please go to O*Net Online.
