Hey I graduated with a 4 year business degree but now I want to get an MSW. I have been working with mentally disabled individuals for almost a year now and I feel an MSW would help me gain good career opportunities. My mother has belittled me and told me this will do nothing for me and is a terrible decision.
I want to apply to programs but I am feeling really bad because my parents tell me social work is a terrible field, low paying with drug addicts. I work with mentally handicapped people now and feel an MSW would help me get good career opportunities.
