Check with the guidance center at your college for details, as they vary from state to state, but most people with an AA or AS in mental health qualify for limited certification in the field, especially in the area of addiction. Thus, you might work as a counselor, supervised by a more experienced and credentialed person, as a mental health tech, or similar positions.

During that time, you could work on getting more education, and if you found the field was not for you (many do), it would be easy to continue after changing majors. If you continue in the field, some employers will assist with education expenses.

If you are serious about this, you would be well advised to work part-time while going to school, as "contact hours" are usually required for state certifications.
