It depends on what kind of counselor you want to be. For most any counseling program, you will need an undergraduate background in psychology or another social science, so I recommend majoring in this subject. At the bare minimum, most counseling jobs require a Master's degree, either in counseling or in social work with an emphasis on counseling. Depending on what you want to specialize in (mental health, addiction, school counseling, career, and so on) there will be different paths you follow. Your best bet is to speak to someone in the career and academic advising office at your school to get you on the right track.

Finally, many states require licensing or certification to practice professionally.
