i want to be a social worker but dont want so much school

I am so ready to become a Social Worker. I love to work with the elderly and also help families with the death of loved ones. Right now i'm attending Norheastern State University in Oklahoma. I am working on a BSW degree. In just a few months I will be graduating. I just pray God He will place me where He wants me to be. The main duty of life and humans is to take care of each other and to help each other make the right choices throughout life. Thanks for letting me comment on this forum. May God bless you in all you do for Him!

iwant to become a social worker for the working child and old person.so plz contect.

this is a really good colum.very descriptive and true.

You cannot become a social worker with an associate's degree in Human Resources Management. HRM is something totally different. To become a social worker, you must have at least a bachelor's degree in social work. A master's degree is quickly becoming the standard.

I'm working towards a MSW right now. It sounds like I'll need a lot of volunteer/working experience prior to finishing school in order to get a job when I'm out. Any tips from anyone currently working in this field?

i dont think its right for this because its not right to kids that are being involved

As a clinical Social Worker for the past 21 years, I have worked primarily as a therapist, for the past 11 years, I have worked with adolescents providing Individual Therapy, Group Therapy and Family Therapy. My services are covered by most Private Commercial Insurances. Private Practice is a wonderful opportunity for MSW's with at least three years post graduate experience in a therapeutic practice.

i m also in bachleros programmes of social work this is very useful and authentic knowledge you provide regadind this subject.

This helps on this paper that I'm writing on what I want to do after highschool.

If you want to do human resource management you do not need to major in social work. They are two different degrees. She should not have told you that unless you want to do social work in the future.

Umm you people need to get a life wat are u guyz like 40 years old tring to pick fights with people on the internet losers like u need to get a job and grow the hell up!!!!!

Hello:) i live in miami fl and cant afford Universitys but cant seem to find BSW (Bachelors in social work)in my community collage. i would much appreciate it if someone were to help with this.

this website was a lot of help to my school project on careers

I am a little uneasy about the information I've found here. I am currently attending college to obtain an associates degree in Human Resource Management. This is the degree the lady who enrolled me in school told me I needed to become a social worker; yet I do not see this degree mentioned in this material. Any one have insite on this??

I just recently graduated with a Bachelors of Art in Social Services and I am having a rather difficult time seeking employment mainly because I don't have any experince. I've tried volunteering at different places but they only treat me as though I am a secretary. If anyone have any leads or answers to help me land a suitable job as well as gain experience, I would greatly appreciate it

What colleges are good to look into to become a social worker? I live in the state of Washington. So I would prefer it to be here in this state.

I would like more specific information about how to get started. Social working seems like something i would be greatly interested in,so if anyone has anything that would help me it would be appreciated.

Hey, I am a junior in college majoring in Family and Child Sceinces and minoring in Psychology. I am really thinking towards being a social worker. Do think i can with the Major i have now or would I need a Bachelor's degree in Social Work? Thanks!

A Social Worker that bases her career on a lie, is not one to guide children on a rightious path. That kind of a job, you must take your responsibilities seriously. And HONESTLY.

I think you all just need to stop worrying about other people's issues and think about your own!
just find your own like and live it

cottony u didnt have 2 be so rude u need 2 mind yob kk

Pamela, not to sound rude. But mind your own business. I'm more than sure you have enough issues going on with you that need attention. Your managers will eventually find out. Leave it to them.

Good luck M'ingYOB

I work with a collegue who has neighter as BSW or MSW but has a job title of Social Worker. I would like to bring to the managers attention that she is "not" a social worker but would like some form of written proof. Any suggestions of where I might access a good definition of "social workers"?

How many years of school will I need to be a Social Worker? I want to work for kids and help them. What college will be good for me in the State of Tennessee?

I'm in my last years of High School and as the years draw to a close, I keep changing my career ideas. I want a job that I'll be happy doing and i feel like a social worker would be good but what college to go to or how to tell my parents I'm no longer going to Culinary school will be really hard to do.

Do not a lot of money to buy some real estate? Don't worry, just because it is real to take the business loans to solve such problems. Thus take a college loan to buy everything you want.

Thanks for this article, very informative, interesting and accurate. I enjoyed reading it.
I plan on getting a masters degree in social work and my prefered places to work would be a hospital, with children abuse/neglect situations or working with the elderly. I don't think I would enjoy substance abuse or mental problem cases as much. Once again, thanks.:)

Being a junior in high school, I really want to go into this field of work. I think it's amazing to be able to do this sort of thing, and plan on going for a Doctorates degree. Thank you very much (:

I just finish my national service at a deprived area in the Volta region, where i thought maths and science at the Senior High level.

But my problem is that i couldn't graduate from the university where i offered Post-harvest Technology.

I have my result slip and need a job urgently.

I don't have money to complete my course so i have to work and wish to get a good pay. Am also good at the computer, when it comes to typing, i type 60wpm and a bove.

Please contact me. I have also work with Ghana water and sewage company and very creative and intelligent.

Due to lack of financial support and accommodation problems on campus, i couldn't make it but had a GP above 1.5 which kept me through my level 100 to level 400 and i wasn't withdrawn from the university. Please i contact me and consider me for a job anywhere only if i will be well paid.

this website was really helpful to me im trying to find out more about social service, and what they do to help family out and elderly people indeed for help.

I thought a social worker was a teacher but its much more. Before I wanted to be a vet but dealing with dangerous animals is not my thing. So I figured that being a teacher or an adviser would be a more self for filling career. Any who like I said there is more to being a social worker than just teaching its about helping others with their personal problems too.

Thanx for the information. I think I have come home. I started with Capella and now I am interested finally in Social Work. Your classes seem to hit home with me. I am hoping that you have the Master's

Degree Program. I can't wait to contact you. Thanks again. Denise H.

I appreciate this site. As a junior in college I will be getting my associates in Social Work and now I am decided to get my Bachelorette in it. While this decision comes easily, the harder one is knowing what I want to do with it there after. In picking social work my only thought was to help others. How to help others is still a great mystery time... I"m hoping by the time of graduation I will have found my way. Thanks again for this site and God Bless.

I'm still in high school, planning on getting my master's in Social Work.But I'm having a hard time trying to find a good college in Alabama to attend to full-fill my dreams of being a social worker. I would like to be prepared by the time my Senior year comes around, and I'm not prepared for what awaits me yets.
