It took me a long time to figure out what I want to do until this year. I've seen first hand the struggle that students have in schools. These are challenges that require people to community bond, and I think that a school social worker will have the tools to help build that relationship while addressing an individual person's needs. I'm at the beginning stages of applying for an MSW program right now, and I'm excited and optimistic for an awesome future for others and I. Good luck to everyone on this thread, and thank you Mind your Society for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for creating this video! Sometimes Social Work often is associated with "taking a vow of poverty" with our Clients. This educates the community on the importance/impact of Social Workers. I firmly believe that with the exodus of each administration, there is always be work to be done. I really like to social responsibilities for corporate Social Work because this is one of the ways we can be a catalyst for change! I like your channel and will be following. After twenty years of direct service, I will be an MSW graduate soon.
I live at Ontario, Canada, and I only got a Ontario College Diploma in Social Work. I work as a Social Services Administrator (Ontario Works Income Assistance; aka Welfare), i started my position last year and my salary is 87k a year. Prior to my position, I was a Case Management Clerk (Assistant to Caseworkers), a Caseworker, and Employment Counsellor, which all were between 38k-60k a year. It took me 8 years of work before i got to my current position.
Your comment really cheered me up! I live in São Paulo Brasil and I'm moving to Toronto next year to study and work. I'm going to do a 2 year course college in Social Worker Service and I am afraid that it doesn't pay off
@@Justmeonyoutubelol its a challenge to find a job with many opportunities, if you cant find any good work i would reccommend getting a BSW if you can.

Hustle Gomez wouldn’t be an issue of folk wouldn’t abuse their kids as often. Actually, social workers should be required far more because the abuse and death of kids in their own homes I see is disgusting
it's so true its such a load of BS that SWs dont make good money. The average rate for a social worker in a mental health hospital in Australia is $100,000 a year
I’ve had my masters for 19 years and have done well working in medical settings. However, your description of corporate social workers has definitely sparked an interest. I’d love to hear more about your story and how you were able to get into the corporate world. Thank you
Christopher Pratola thanks for watching! I just made a new video on corporate social work! And I have another video I made several months ago titled “my career in corporate philanthropy”! I hope you check those out and let me know what you think.
I love being employed with VA. It is a rewarding career. VA is versatile in that you can work as a medical SW or Mental Health SW. The government also factors in the cost of living. Currently in my area in Texas an an experienced LCSW makes 90,000+
I am interested in corporate social work, I was just wondering if you could please do a video on corporate social work like you did with the Macro 101 video? Or even do a video comparing the difference between macro and corporate social work? :)

Thank you so much for this! Im a mom of 3, I have an undergrad and was in a hotel management position before COVID. Within weeks, all of that GONE. My uncle/family friend convinced me to change career path because he is a social worker taking his Ph.D. I am afraid but your videos are truly helpful with my fear and anxieties. THANK YOU

This video was so interesting. I did not realise how versatile social work can be and it's a great feeling. I just wonder whether these roles apply to social workers based in the UK.
Landongirl Thank you for watching. Im glad you found it interesting! I would guess that a lot of the roles I mentioned also exist in the UK as well, but ofcourse I couldn’t be for certain and you would have to look into it a bit more to confirm.
Thanks for sharing such insightful and valuable info!

Thank you for posting this! I am currently a Human Service Major, and with everything going on, continuing to fight for social justice, and to promote health and well being for many communities- this is very helpful. ❤️
This was so well done .. and so accurate. I have worked in non profit, grant writing, school social work and now I’m in the medical field. The MSW degree allows for flexibility
So glad I came across your video! I just graduated with my MSW and have been applying for medical social work and hospice social work positions. I'm also very interested in your role as a corporate social worker and how you find social work jobs in the corporate sector.
Istruleofightclubs, I wish you much success Sis! I was seriously thinking of doing that in the way 2,000's as a result of helping to take care of my bestie who was sent home to Hospice. However, I think it would be too much for my nerves to take.
I was definitely stuck on the fence on whether I should pursue a master's in social work or counseling psychology. As I was considering becoming a therapist, but one thing I really like about the social work degree is that it is so versatile. I mistakenly earned a non-marketable non-versatile "useless" non-in-demand bachelor's degree and after watching this video and many of your other videos, I'm very interested in switching gears to earning an MSW and possibly an LCSW. Thank you for this video!
Great content ! Also pretty lip color . I am also a social worker and just started my channel. Thank you for educating others on salaries in social work as I there are a lot of misconceptions about social worker wages. As a social worker last year (2019) I made well over 100k. Social workers can make a decent living !!!! :)
Just graduated with a B.S. in social work and im looking to go to grad school. I was interested in where my degree can take me, this video helped! Thank you!
Could you do a video comparing a diploma, bachelor and master of social work ? Really torn on how far I should go with schooling if I could get decent jobs with just a diploma
Thank you Ellie, and I am sorry that you feel like that. I often feel that people see the field in a negative light too, and its very discouraging ! Glad I could bring a different perspective!
When I was a senior in HS I wanted to be a social worker. At least in my state, it required a 3-yr master's degree and thousands of hours of UNPAID, hard work. Only to graduate to make less than what most of my friends who had 2-yr degrees were making. No thank you. I think social workers are very important, but our culture disagrees. Which is why we pay them, like teachers, so little while someone selling garbage straight out of high school can earn 6+ figures a year. High pay in social work is the exception, not the norm. Social workers should be uniting to fight that.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos. I'm currently in the technology industry but unsatisfied with my career, so I've been thinking about going to grad school to get an MSW and enter the social work field. It's obviously a huge decision, but so many of your videos address so many of my concerns, and in such a personable and approachable way. You're helping me and so many other people. Thank you for doing what you're doing!!!
Brad, if you’re thinking about it, look into & if u like what u hear, go for it! I just my MSW program @ Walden. Its an online program, which is beneficial during this pandemic. Ain’t nothing to it but to do it! Good luck to u! This video is very informative!
I'm a License Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for Dept of Veteran Affairs in Louisiana! It is extremely challenging to get a position so don't give up bc Federal Employee is HOMeless Veterans, Mental Health, Women Veteran Transitions, outpatient/inpatient, Substance Abuse, spinal cord injuries and disease, polytrauma rehabilitation, palliative care therapeutic and supportive employment,suicide prevention, veterans justice outreach, intake specialist, outreach coordinators, transitional housing liasions,Caregiver coordinators, CEU /EDUCATION Interns, etc.
Thanks a lot for this informative and motivating video for social workers. I have an experience of around 11years in the social sector. Feeling inspired to settle in Canada. Thanks a lot.
Hi I am a social worker. I would strongly encourage you to get experience interning, volunteering before you choose to get a degree in this field. The reason I say this is because many jobs in the field are highly demanding and stressful with a liability considering we work with vulnerable populations. Your pay often depends on where you live. If you do choose to study social work at the masters level I strongly encourage you to go to an affordable program, not an expensive private school. I am a hiring manager and MSWs from new online schools and older renowned programs are hired and paid the same.
I am so glad that I clicked on your video. I am currently in the Masters degree program for Social Work. I have upgraded my resume my only issue is that I lack the confidence of selling myself. My question to you is, can you post a video on interviewing for corporate positions because I need my confidence to match my resume.
just graduated with my BSW and sooo ready to get out in the field. thank you for this video and giving me more insight on the different types of SW!!💚💚
I really appreciate this because it provides me some good options to apply myself to once I retire from my current position. I do want to add that medical social work pay has increased especially in the hospice and palliative care setting; depending on experience. At my organization it is about $ 75-90,000.00 with a pension. I am on the higher end with 11 years experience. Also if you work in hospital that is non profit, you can get loans forgiven. I did.
Hi Gabby. I have recently come to a cross roads in my life and am wanting to change career paths (to hopefully social work) and your channel is just what I needed. I've been so confused lately about which grad school to apply to and the pressure of making the "correct" decision to ultimately do something I love while making a difference. My sister is a LMFT and she has given me some insights about social work but I needed to hear from someone who is in the field and has the experience. I subscribed and will be checking out your other videos, website and Instagram! Thank you!
In California in the MSW programs such as USC or Cal State Long Beach your concentration in their MSW program has to be in Children, Family and Wellbeing to qualify for their Pupil Personal Service Credential. In the PPSC post program you have to be bilingual, passed the CBEST test for LAUSD and tuition is like $1500. I also add the school district wants you to have your LCSW
OMG! I find that the certs and qualifications in California are always some of the strictest in the country. Like I know for example, becoming a JD is so intense there. In Cali, there are no options for Social Workers who didn't focus in a specific area during their MSW program to become social social workers later? In Michigan where I live, you don't have to focus in a specific area. You just have to get your MSW, and the practicum experience as well as supervision and your license.
i just did more research from state to state and it varies so much. thanks for your comment. i'm going to edit out the part where i mention that you don't necessarily have to get the training during your MSW program, just so it doesn't lead to too much confusion!
After working the hospitality/tourist industry for 10 years, I have decided to go back to college and get a degree in Human services. (I love helping people) Your videos are helping me decide where exactly I want to go. Thank you💗
Hi I came across your channel researching social work. I have a BA in psychology and have started thinking about grad school. I know I want to work with people but I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the MSW route or become a Licensed Counselor. After watching your videos I think I want to take the MSW route. If you have any specific videos geared towards the steps needed to take that route please let me know. Thank you so much for the help. Do you have an email address or Instagram? Some way I can direct message you?
Hello! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you are inspired to go the MSW route. So to go that route, you just need to apply and get into an MSW program. Do you mean how to become a licensed clinical social worker so you can ultimately do therapy? If so, I don't have any videos about that route. I didnt take that route. My instagram is in the description!
Awesome videos! Thank you for the information! Do you have any suggestions for social work careers that are physically engaging (that day decently :)? I was looking in to adventure therapy.
I want to do adventure therapy too! I will finish my masters in social work May 2022. Have you found any adventure therapy positions? I will be looking for some after I graduate. I live in Bryan, TX. Are you in Texas as well?
I’m a Medical Case Worker 11 with the Department of Mental Health La county I started at $21 an hour and now at $33 per hour it took about 7 years to move up but this type of social worker you need bachelor degree in health administration, social work, psychology or any related social science degree. . I have a bachelors in Health Administration which was the main degree they ideally wanted this was back in 2013 when I first started if you speak Spanish you get a bonus . My salary is really good. Then in 2014 I went back to school for my masters MFT and now with this freeze I can’t promote so in the meantime I’m working on getting my hours so when the promotions opens back again I will apply as a Mental Health Clinician so my salary as a medical case worker before taxes was around $69,OOOO and take home salary $63,0000. I make good money and I’m not even working as a therapist yet. My salary will continue to go up once I get promoted as a clinician. So this lady is correct !!!
Hi, awesome channel and wealth of information. I'm currently studying for my LMSW exam ... I plan to do clinical work-hospital- then maybe later on look into policy or my own private practice especially considering the economy now.
Very good video! I’m pursuing my BSW and definitely had some concerns about obtaining a livable wage as well as what particular aspect of social work interested me the most. Thanks for helping me to make better sense of these job titles that I’ve seen on Indeed, Simply Hired, etc.
Your video is very informative and gives future potential Social Workers a positive outlook on the field of Social Work. My question to you is do you know if there is such a thing as a Bariatric's clinic social worker? If so wouldn't this be considered to be a medical social worker?And lastly what is your advice for getting into this particular field?
Hello! I had no idea this existed until I did a little googling! Looks like social workers do work in bariatric clinics! Yes looks like you would go on the path to become a licensed clinical social worker to be most effective with helping that population. Thank you, Jeremy.
Can you please tell me what’s the job title that works best for someone who wants to create programs to assist people who are in need like homeless or low income family and any people who need all different sort of help, I want to be able to work with people individually as well as come up with solutions to fix their issues. Which specific job position that deal with all that is high paid? I appreciate your video I’m having issues finding the perfect job position and I have been researching for weeks now. Thank you,
Thanks for posting this. l am doing SSW two year programme at Ontario.After this l am going to work for two years.After two year break how many years l have to learn to get BSW.Please l want to know..
Thank you for you video. Are there any teaching opportunities for social workers to teach at a college level? How can I tie my legal background and social work?
Hi Mind your Society, I graduated with a minor in Social Work and thinking of going for an MSW.. I am a good listener and always striving to make positive change in any lives I can touch. Do you think Mental health is a good fit? I am currently in GA and can't seem to find a school with such specialty. Is it an additional certification after the licensure?
Im 18 and just now doing research on different types of social worker. Is there another video where you explain those types instead of high paying jobs? I was very much interested in Forensic social work but I still don't know much.
Just got accepted and committed to a MSW program! Loved this video! I've heard things from people like don't expect too much from grad school programs and that it will be hard to get a job. How did you get the most out of your program and what was the job market like for you when you graduate?
congratulations!! I have a video all about my grad school experience that I posted a few months ago, and I talk about how I made the best of the experience and made recommendations. And I didn’t jump right into the social work field after I graduated. I taught English in Korea directly after. But once I got back to the US, I found a position directly after!
Wow. Not bad my social worker masters student buddy was humiliating me for being a truck business owner at age 23 with 3 trucks. But little does he know each truck generates 5-7k a week per truck. He’s on the right track going to school for free due to his mother being a professor’s assistant. But he has no work experience in that field. I tell him to focus less on his rap career and focus on getting an internship. I want all my buddies to succeed. I tried the college route but I just couldn’t get over the fact that they kept telling me I’d “work for a great company”. I never wanted to work for anyone. In fact, now I have employees with college degrees working for me because they couldn’t get a decent job in their field. But I hope within the next year or two I can go back to school and finish my degree in marketing and learn more on how to manage my money.
Hi, I’m ending my 1st semester back since 2016, I am taking classes to get into my schools Social Work program. I was thinking to be a Clinical Social Worker, but with this unprecedented time with COVID 19, I’m thinking about Macro Social Work program at my school. What advice would you give me to help decide what path I should go?
hello thanks for watching! Clinical Social Workers will always be needed. If anything, more than ever because of the public health crisis. Virtual therapy is growing rapidly. Just keep that in mind. It depends on how set you are on that 1 on 1 interaction. With Macro, you just wont get much of that.
Love Love Love this video. I do have a quick question though. Are all of these jobs only for after grad school? I am a BSW student currently and wont get my Masters for another couple of years.
So glad I found your channel! I do have a question for you, what are some jobs in the criminal justice field of social work that I can pursue with a criminal justice associates degree? Thank you
Medam in this jobs i would like to help in the schools ..i completed MSW and B.Ed so i would like to have some information about these jobs.can i have ur website or contact number. Please
Hi. Can you make a video on how you got your foot into corporate social work? Or how you pitched yourself on paper to make yourself stand out to a corporate company, as someone with a social work degree? I have my MSW. Thanks so much!
Hello. It happened very non traditionally for me. I went through a fellowship program that placed me at a corporation for the fellowship year and thats how it started. But definitely check out my Corporate 101 video where i talk about more traditional paths.

I am looking into the medical SW area. Can you please give me more info from the I'm your perspective?
Great informative video!
So glad I came across your video! I just graduated with my MSW and have been applying for medical social work and hospice social work positions. I'm also very interested in your role as a corporate social worker and how you find social work jobs in the corporate sector.
Did you get a job?
Istruleofightclubs, I wish you much success Sis! I was seriously thinking of doing that in the way 2,000's as a result of helping to take care of my bestie who was sent home to Hospice. However, I think it would be too much for my nerves to take.
Good info. Thanks.
I was definitely stuck on the fence on whether I should pursue a master's in social work or counseling psychology. As I was considering becoming a therapist, but one thing I really like about the social work degree is that it is so versatile. I mistakenly earned a non-marketable non-versatile "useless" non-in-demand bachelor's degree and after watching this video and many of your other videos, I'm very interested in switching gears to earning an MSW and possibly an LCSW. Thank you for this video!
what degree was it?
What degree was it
Thanx a lot for this video, m 25 years experience n interested in working in the UK soon
Great content ! Also pretty lip color . I am also a social worker and just started my channel. Thank you for educating others on salaries in social work as I there are a lot of misconceptions about social worker wages. As a social worker last year (2019) I made well over 100k. Social workers can make a decent living !!!! :)
Wow! Do you mind sharing what your job is?
Yes with the right trainings and investments 😊
What! That’s amazing, what do you do?
Just graduated with a B.S. in social work and im looking to go to grad school. I was interested in where my degree can take me, this video helped! Thank you!
Could you do a video comparing a diploma, bachelor and master of social work ? Really torn on how far I should go with schooling if I could get decent jobs with just a diploma
Love your energy. I am perusing a degree in social work and there is little positive opinions on it which is very discouraging.
Thank you Ellie, and I am sorry that you feel like that. I often feel that people see the field in a negative light too, and its very discouraging ! Glad I could bring a different perspective!
When I was a senior in HS I wanted to be a social worker. At least in my state, it required a 3-yr master's degree and thousands of hours of UNPAID, hard work. Only to graduate to make less than what most of my friends who had 2-yr degrees were making. No thank you. I think social workers are very important, but our culture disagrees. Which is why we pay them, like teachers, so little while someone selling garbage straight out of high school can earn 6+ figures a year.
High pay in social work is the exception, not the norm. Social workers should be uniting to fight that.
Thank you for this
Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos. I'm currently in the technology industry but unsatisfied with my career, so I've been thinking about going to grad school to get an MSW and enter the social work field. It's obviously a huge decision, but so many of your videos address so many of my concerns, and in such a personable and approachable way. You're helping me and so many other people. Thank you for doing what you're doing!!!
Thank you so much!!! I’m glad these videos are helpful for you all.
Brad, if you’re thinking about it, look into & if u like what u hear, go for it! I just my MSW program @ Walden. Its an online program, which is beneficial during this pandemic. Ain’t nothing to it but to do it! Good luck to u! This video is very informative!

Thanks a lot for this informative and motivating video for social workers. I have an experience of around 11years in the social sector. Feeling inspired to settle in Canada. Thanks a lot.
Hey di can we talk on Instagram I've some queries
Thank you for this video I’m 21 and I’m interested in going to school for social work. I loved your energy thanks
Hi I am a social worker. I would strongly encourage you to get experience interning, volunteering before you choose to get a degree in this field. The reason I say this is because many jobs in the field are highly demanding and stressful with a liability considering we work with vulnerable populations. Your pay often depends on where you live. If you do choose to study social work at the masters level I strongly encourage you to go to an affordable program, not an expensive private school. I am a hiring manager and MSWs from new online schools and older renowned programs are hired and paid the same.
@@jbarnes4271 thank you for this! Super helpful
I am so glad that I clicked on your video. I am currently in the Masters degree program for Social Work. I have upgraded my resume my only issue is that I lack the confidence of selling myself. My question to you is, can you post a video on interviewing for corporate positions because I need my confidence to match my resume.
Mesa
Very helpful! Thank you!
just graduated with my BSW and sooo ready to get out in the field. thank you for this video and giving me more insight on the different types of SW!!💚💚
can I major in sociology and work for CPS? A minor would do nothing right?
Hey
Which are highest paying companies
Very informative video!! Would you recommend International Social worker?
very informative video.
I really appreciate this because it provides me some good options to apply myself to once I retire from my current position. I do want to add that medical social work pay has increased especially in the hospice and palliative care setting; depending on experience. At my organization it is about $ 75-90,000.00 with a pension. I am on the higher end with 11 years experience. Also if you work in hospital that is non profit, you can get loans forgiven. I did.
Hi Gabby. I have recently come to a cross roads in my life and am wanting to change career paths (to hopefully social work) and your channel is just what I needed. I've been so confused lately about which grad school to apply to and the pressure of making the "correct" decision to ultimately do something I love while making a difference. My sister is a LMFT and she has given me some insights about social work but I needed to hear from someone who is in the field and has the experience. I subscribed and will be checking out your other videos, website and Instagram! Thank you!
Aww thank you so much! Im so happy these videos could help you to get some clarity. And thank you for the support. Stay in touch!
Thanks for this video! You are wonderful!
hello and thanks for watching! I have a video all about it here :) czcams.com/video/rGkbPINDWo8/video.html
I sure that Corporate Social Worker depends on where you live. I live in South Texas more specifically the Valley so it would be hard!
In California in the MSW programs such as USC or Cal State Long Beach your concentration in their MSW program has to be in Children, Family and Wellbeing to qualify for their Pupil Personal Service Credential. In the PPSC post program you have to be bilingual, passed the CBEST test for LAUSD and tuition is like $1500. I also add the school district wants you to have your LCSW
OMG! I find that the certs and qualifications in California are always some of the strictest in the country. Like I know for example, becoming a JD is so intense there. In Cali, there are no options for Social Workers who didn't focus in a specific area during their MSW program to become social social workers later? In Michigan where I live, you don't have to focus in a specific area. You just have to get your MSW, and the practicum experience as well as supervision and your license.
i just did more research from state to state and it varies so much. thanks for your comment. i'm going to edit out the part where i mention that you don't necessarily have to get the training during your MSW program, just so it doesn't lead to too much confusion!
After working the hospitality/tourist industry for 10 years, I have decided to go back to college and get a degree in Human services. (I love helping people) Your videos are helping me decide where exactly I want to go. Thank you💗
This vedio give me an imazing knowledge to explore myself at a right time of my life❤️❤️
Hi I came across your channel researching social work. I have a BA in psychology and have started thinking about grad school. I know I want to work with people but I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the MSW route or become a Licensed Counselor. After watching your videos I think I want to take the MSW route. If you have any specific videos geared towards the steps needed to take that route please let me know. Thank you so much for the help. Do you have an email address or Instagram? Some way I can direct message you?
Hello! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you are inspired to go the MSW route. So to go that route, you just need to apply and get into an MSW program. Do you mean how to become a licensed clinical social worker so you can ultimately do therapy? If so, I don't have any videos about that route. I didnt take that route. My instagram is in the description!
@@MindyourSociety ok thank you so much
Awesome videos! Thank you for the information! Do you have any suggestions for social work careers that are physically engaging (that day decently :)? I was looking in to adventure therapy.
I want to do adventure therapy too! I will finish my masters in social work May 2022. Have you found any adventure therapy positions? I will be looking for some after I graduate. I live in Bryan, TX. Are you in Texas as well?
@@Ajussbn hey
@@Ajussbn suggest me also
I’m a Medical Case Worker 11 with the Department of Mental Health La county I started at $21 an hour and now at $33 per hour it took about 7 years to move up but this type of social worker you need bachelor degree in health administration, social work, psychology or any related social science degree. . I have a bachelors in Health Administration which was the main degree they ideally wanted this was back in 2013 when I first started if you speak Spanish you get a bonus . My salary is really good. Then in 2014 I went back to school for my masters MFT and now with this freeze I can’t promote so in the meantime I’m working on getting my hours so when the promotions opens back again I will apply as a Mental Health Clinician so my salary as a medical case worker before taxes was around $69,OOOO and take home salary $63,0000. I make good money and I’m not even working as a therapist yet. My salary will continue to go up once I get promoted as a clinician. So this lady is correct !!!
Hi, awesome channel and wealth of information. I'm currently studying for my LMSW exam ... I plan to do clinical work-hospital- then maybe later on look into policy or my own private practice especially considering the economy now.
Congrats 🍾🎉🎊
@@healthcareonthego6947 Thank you!
Wishing you all the best!
Very good video! I’m pursuing my BSW and definitely had some concerns about obtaining a livable wage as well as what particular aspect of social work interested me the most. Thanks for helping me to make better sense of these job titles that I’ve seen on Indeed, Simply Hired, etc.
no problem! glad i could help. Thanks for tuning in!
Hi, great content, any relationship between Education (B.ed) and community social work?
Your video is very informative and gives future potential Social Workers a positive outlook on the field of Social Work. My question to you is do you know if there is such a thing as a Bariatric's clinic social worker? If so wouldn't this be considered to be a medical social worker?And lastly what is your advice for getting into this particular field?
Hello! I had no idea this existed until I did a little googling! Looks like social workers do work in bariatric clinics! Yes looks like you would go on the path to become a licensed clinical social worker to be most effective with helping that population. Thank you, Jeremy.
I enjoyed watching your video. Medical Social Worker here 🙋🏿♀️.
Thank you so much for stopping by!! I appreciate your support 💜
Can you please tell me what’s the job title that works best for someone who wants to create programs to assist people who are in need like homeless or low income family and any people who need all different sort of help, I want to be able to work with people individually as well as come up with solutions to fix their issues. Which specific job position that deal with all that is high paid? I appreciate your video I’m having issues finding the perfect job position and I have been researching for weeks now. Thank you,
Hello!! What is a common title for an entry level corporate social worker? I am looking into it.
Also, is this HR or what is more of what you do?
Thanks for posting this. l am doing SSW two year programme at Ontario.After this l am going to work for two years.After two year break how many years l have to learn to get BSW.Please l want to know..
Ur explaining amazing mam nice
Thank you for you video. Are there any teaching opportunities for social workers to teach at a college level?
How can I tie my legal background and social work?
I want to do HR in MSW, so what kind of job i can get? Please guide me it's very necessary.
Hi Mind your Society, I graduated with a minor in Social Work and thinking of going for an MSW.. I am a good listener and always striving to make positive change in any lives I can touch. Do you think Mental health is a good fit? I am currently in GA and can't seem to find a school with such specialty. Is it an additional certification after the licensure?
Im 18 and just now doing research on different types of social worker. Is there another video where you explain those types instead of high paying jobs? I was very much interested in Forensic social work but I still don't know much.
Just got accepted and committed to a MSW program! Loved this video! I've heard things from people like don't expect too much from grad school programs and that it will be hard to get a job. How did you get the most out of your program and what was the job market like for you when you graduate?
congratulations!! I have a video all about my grad school experience that I posted a few months ago, and I talk about how I made the best of the experience and made recommendations. And I didn’t jump right into the social work field after I graduated. I taught English in Korea directly after. But once I got back to the US, I found a position directly after!
@@MindyourSociety I will check that video out! Thank you for replying!! So happy to have found your channel
Wow. Not bad my social worker masters student buddy was humiliating me for being a truck business owner at age 23 with 3 trucks. But little does he know each truck generates 5-7k a week per truck. He’s on the right track going to school for free due to his mother being a professor’s assistant. But he has no work experience in that field. I tell him to focus less on his rap career and focus on getting an internship. I want all my buddies to succeed. I tried the college route but I just couldn’t get over the fact that they kept telling me I’d “work for a great company”. I never wanted to work for anyone. In fact, now I have employees with college degrees working for me because they couldn’t get a decent job in their field. But I hope within the next year or two I can go back to school and finish my degree in marketing and learn more on how to manage my money.
I graduate in December with my MSW but I already have 7 years exp in the field. This video makes me hopeful for the future.
Your is what sells you the most
Hi, I’m ending my 1st semester back since 2016, I am taking classes to get into my schools Social Work program. I was thinking to be a Clinical Social Worker, but with this unprecedented time with COVID 19, I’m thinking about Macro Social Work program at my school. What advice would you give me to help decide what path I should go?
hello thanks for watching! Clinical Social Workers will always be needed. If anything, more than ever because of the public health crisis. Virtual therapy is growing rapidly. Just keep that in mind. It depends on how set you are on that 1 on 1 interaction. With Macro, you just wont get much of that.
Full detail about veterinary social worker pls do video about this
Love Love Love this video. I do have a quick question though. Are all of these jobs only for after grad school? I am a BSW student currently and wont get my Masters for another couple of years.
Hello! Thanks so much. Most of them do require an MSW. That’s truly what I’ve found is the way to get the higher paid jobs in the field.
@@MindyourSociety That makes perfect sense. Thank you so much for this. I will keep this in mind when I do enter into my graduate program..
So glad I found your channel! I do have a question for you, what are some jobs in the criminal justice field of social work that I can pursue with a criminal justice associates degree? Thank you
Medam in this jobs i would like to help in the schools ..i completed MSW and B.Ed so i would like to have some information about these jobs.can i have ur website or contact number. Please
Thank you for this video!!! How do you find corporate social work jobs? Is there a trick or do you have to just keep searching
thanks for watching! check out my video called "corporate social work 101" as I talk more about that there!
What was your specialisation while you studied Social Work? Did you study Policy, Planning and Administration?
Hi. Can you make a video on how you got your foot into corporate social work? Or how you pitched yourself on paper to make yourself stand out to a corporate company, as someone with a social work degree? I have my MSW. Thanks so much!
Hello. It happened very non traditionally for me. I went through a fellowship program that placed me at a corporation for the fellowship year and thats how it started. But definitely check out my Corporate 101 video where i talk about more traditional paths.
School SW varies from state to state. Florida start at mid-40’s. Up North pay is higher
