Good luck to you both, you sound like you each have great experience I, too, come from an unconventional background (business) and have done mental health advocacy in business settings as well as volunteering in long-term care, and am equally as passionate about both. I too am thinking of ways to make my application better for if I have to apply again next year, as I definitely can think of tons I can improve on!!
CalendarGirl, which 1-year BSW programs have you looked into specifically? And any thoughts (from anyone here) on the difference in the job market for a BSW vs an MSW?
