The questionnaire method was administered in this study to full-time licensed or qualified college counselors. A stratified random sampling scheme was conducted using 325 counselors from 88 colleges and universities, and 250 valid questionnaires were analyzed. The results revealed: The level of work stress and job satisfaction of the college counselors was in the middle, and the level of their professional identity was high. Age, types of colleges and universities, work seniority, employment types and counselors, whether licensed or not, differed on work stress level, while seniority and employment types differed on professional identity. In addition, age and types of colleges and universities differed on job satisfaction. However, sex had no significant difference on any variable. The correlation between overall work stress and job satisfaction was negative, while overall professional identity was not. The work stress and professional identity were predictive to overall work stress. The coefficient of multiple regression was significant, with an explanatory power of 41 percent. Finally, suggestions were made on college counselors, counseling centers, counselor education departments, and further research, respectively.
