I have a bachelor's degree in Sociology from Rutgers University. I don't have the greatest GPA, and I'm a horrible test taker (took the GRE years ago... it was horrible)
BUT, I have amazing work experience from the past 7 years; working with autistic kids, counselor at a group home, AmeriCorps, volunteer work, and more recently worked for a child protective service agency for almost 4 years where I worked directly with children and families-- I have done a lot
So, basically... I don't know what to do from here.... I know I love working with families/kids who have been through trauma, etc... I am good at it. I just don't know how to go about it.
Should I just go get my MSW? MFT? or MA in Clinical Psychology?
People (professionals) that I have worked with all tell me "There needs to be more people like you in this world..."-- which is so nice, and I am grateful. But, I know to do more I need that advanced degree.
So, all that being said...
I don't want to have to take my GRE's again
I hope my work experience and ability to get amazing recommendations from great professionals will have a grad program look past my poor GPA.
I am extremely passionate about the work I want to do.
Any advice?
Grad schools? Which ones do I have a chance getting into?
Thanks in advance!... any advice would be helpful
