  1. Eh. You really don't need 2 years post msw. I have just as many friends who did as didn't. (granted, they haven't started looking for work yet, but...). generally though, if you don't want to get the 2 years, you are planning to work in the community or straight quantitative work.
  2. Thanks. It's not NOT a good thing. It's just that in the last year, I've quit a job, got married, bought a house that we've completely gutted while living in (no kitchen for the first month of marriage--done!), moved states, started a new job in a new field, got accepted to a phd program, and found myself knocked up. but, what's life if not crazy... right?
  3. this is anonymous. okay. I broke my toe and skinned my knee and found out I am pregnant. i'm in the middle of demo-ing my house. I haven't had inside walls since January.
  4. i was hired to do research and program development. instead, I've been made the secretary's assistant. i think i hate this job. 3 months and 2 days until i quit and move onto PhD-dom.
  5. Hello All: I've posted a little, but mostly lurk. I'm wondering if any of you know about travel/research opps for sw students (PhD pref.). I traveled for my MSW, and am hoping to procure a similar opportunity for the PhD. I'm not sure if most of the experiences are only available to postdocs, or at what point a person begins looking/applying so looking for guidance (or direction to an existing post). about me: aMy MSW is from a top ranked school, i'm accepted to a "smaller?" program at a state school for PhD. I have full funding, without teaching expectations for year 1 and 4. My director did a fullbright, so I'll talk to her more about that, but am interested in learning from any of you who have applied or are applying. My research interests are: program development and evaluation, youth with chronic health conditions, and youth transitioning from foster care and/or from the pediatric to adult health care system. I have 1 year experience in research in a split hospital/university setting, 2 years supervision experience in foster care, 2 years training/technical assistance training in child welfare (state university, federal grant collab), and 4 years advocacy experience. Thank you,
  6. My scores were pretty low--I can't remember the exact numbers, but I freaked out and skipped half the math, and ended up somewhere in the 40th percentile. I was in 80th and 90th for quant and analytical. I only applied to one school (recently married, started new job, moved to new city--didn't want to uproot so quickly). surprisingly got in, and with full funding.
  7. Anyone hear back from IUPUI/Indiana University PhD in SW? (It's the only place I applied, and/or will apply due to location and life right now.
  8. Anyone else thinking applied here? Have you heard back?
