That would be dozens of counselors. I've heard it myself on several occasions and I have a friend who's day job is programming and running machines to make commercial and military aircraft parts. His evening job is teaching CNC machine technology at a community college. He also hears many students complain of the same comments by their counselors.

In parts of Oregon there is a trend of those who have done nothing counseling others to be like them.
