BSW/MSW + Career Advice
Hi everyone :) I am strongly considering pursuing a social work degree and would love some feedback from folks working in the field.
I'm based in Vancouver, BA Sociology, MSc in Health Sciences. I have always wanted to be a SW, dad was one, many of my friends, but I went into harm reduction research + policy instead out of school. I started my career in social services but have been in health research for 7 years. I do CBPR and work for a health org, but I miss human service deeply, hate the ivory tower, and need to pivot.
A few questions: What is the best part of your job as a SW, and are you happy in your field, and if not, what cred do you wish you pursued instead? I was considering a RN, or a different allied health field, but I don't know if it's for me.
Thanks so much in advance :)
