addictionz04 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi everyone, I'm wondering if I should pursue a Counseling PhD or LCSW in Texas. I only want to do therapy and have no desire for teaching, although I don't mind conducting research. I just know that academia is really competitive and I'd much rather have my own private practice. Anyways, my question pertains to employment and salary opportunities for PhD's vs LCSW's. I know that the salary difference is probably $10-$15k. I was wondering which degree would give me a better return on investment, especially if I went to a fully-funded PhD program. Isn't it much easier to find a job with an LCSW? I guess which degree is better worth my time and money, especially given the saturated job market nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleverUsername15 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Depending on where you are in Texas, there are some social work master's programs that have "assistantships" available that could potentially fund your studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
