  1. Thanks for the details. Some job titles and roles I find interesting so far are: -Program development specialist evaluate effectiveness of human services support programs -Program coordinator at a social service program -Bias Response Director -Education Administrator - Assist students connect them with school resources /advising, etc Would you say thats more MSW or Education or MPA? I have not done that yet, ill take a look.
  2. That sounds interesting, I'll look into it. Thanks. At first thought it seems reasonable, but wouldn't a social work degree be more versatile?
  3. Hi everyone I am a business/finance grad whose been out of college for 8 years and am totally done with this career. Without going in to the mushy details, I have found myself that my skills and goals more align with a Social Services type of position. I desire a position that allows me to be creative, and also feel like i'm making an impact somewhere in society. I also value independence in my career and don't want to be working under constant supervision in a hospital for example. I would prefer to be involved at the community or society level more so than doing the 1 on 1 counseling type of work. My first ideas were I would enjoy to one day work as a Program Coordinator at a good company (maybe non-profit) or a position where I can help drive positive change in education in some way. Do these type of jobs exist in the Social Work/Services field? Right now I have a dream of getting accepted in to a Grad School with a focus on Sociology or Social Work to do this career switch the fastest. I have looked around and yes, most schools do require some type of sociology/humanities pre reqs, but some Social Work Programs could possibly admit me if I take maybe one or two classes before starting a masters degree program. Anyway, i would love to hear your opinions or advice on if my goals and plans sound realistic? From my limited research, it looks like Macro Social work might suit me more? Are there a list of programs online for california/west coast schools that fit my profile? Thank you for your help
