I saw that Amazon corporate in Seattle is hiring for a social worker to help their employees work better. It pays almost $40 dollars an hour!! Full time!
Commercial Social worker VA social worker School Social worker Program Evaluator Non-profit executive director Public policy analyst Grant writer Medical social worker Program Officer But listen to what she says about each role because it’s worth it.
Hustle Gomez wouldn’t be an issue of folk wouldn’t abuse their kids as often. Actually, social workers should be required far more because the abuse and death of kids in their own homes I see is disgusting
it's so true its such a load of BS that SWs dont make good money. The average rate for a social worker in a mental health hospital in Australia is $100,000 a year
Thanks for watching, y’all! And just to be clear, I know job options and licensing requirements can vary from state to state and country to country. So please do a bit of additional research to ensure that what I say in this video pertains to your unique situation as well! 💕
Loved this video, and I would love to get in touch with you about the type of social work you do! Is there a way I can contact you personally, maybe by email?
hello mam im indian international student im already done with graduation in india now planning to opt community and justice services diploma in canada sheridan colllege can you please tell what kind of opportunities will i have after this and college has mentioned this diploma relating to field of community and social service please reply
Carmen Heidy, congrats 🎊 & good luck to all your future endeavors ! I just completed my 1st semester of my MSW @ Walden. I’m excited to finish my journey🤗
Cydney Strickland... yes, I started the program @ Walden & Im currently in my 3rd quarter. I like the program. Starting skills lab today. Look into Walden. I think you will be pleased.
I live at Ontario, Canada, and I only got a Ontario College Diploma in Social Work. I work as a Social Services Administrator (Ontario Works Income Assistance; aka Welfare), i started my position last year and my salary is 87k a year. Prior to my position, I was a Case Management Clerk (Assistant to Caseworkers), a Caseworker, and Employment Counsellor, which all were between 38k-60k a year. It took me 8 years of work before i got to my current position.
Your comment really cheered me up! I live in São Paulo Brasil and I'm moving to Toronto next year to study and work. I'm going to do a 2 year course college in Social Worker Service and I am afraid that it doesn't pay off
@@Justmeonyoutubelol its a challenge to find a job with many opportunities, if you cant find any good work i would reccommend getting a BSW if you can.
Thank you for creating this video! Sometimes Social Work often is associated with "taking a vow of poverty" with our Clients. This educates the community on the importance/impact of Social Workers. I firmly believe that with the exodus of each administration, there is always be work to be done. I really like to social responsibilities for corporate Social Work because this is one of the ways we can be a catalyst for change! I like your channel and will be following. After twenty years of direct service, I will be an MSW graduate soon.
I love being employed with VA. It is a rewarding career. VA is versatile in that you can work as a medical SW or Mental Health SW. The government also factors in the cost of living. Currently in my area in Texas an an experienced LCSW makes 90,000+
It took me a long time to figure out what I want to do until this year. I've seen first hand the struggle that students have in schools. These are challenges that require people to community bond, and I think that a school social worker will have the tools to help build that relationship while addressing an individual person's needs. I'm at the beginning stages of applying for an MSW program right now, and I'm excited and optimistic for an awesome future for others and I. Good luck to everyone on this thread, and thank you Mind your Society for sharing your knowledge.
I’ve had my masters for 19 years and have done well working in medical settings. However, your description of corporate social workers has definitely sparked an interest. I’d love to hear more about your story and how you were able to get into the corporate world. Thank you
Christopher Pratola thanks for watching! I just made a new video on corporate social work! And I have another video I made several months ago titled “my career in corporate philanthropy”! I hope you check those out and let me know what you think.
Thanks for the video! I've been on disability (for mental health) for the last 7 years, and I'm now going to be going back to college to become a social worker!! It's scary, but I'm excited!!
Literally teared up when you started giving examples of how to help youth in School Social work. I have a personal experience as a neurodivergent child myself, and this is one of the main drivers for me wanting to be a School Social Worker.
Wow! I’m so happy to hear that you are inspired by the possibilities to help kids in school social work. It really is a great career path! And helps you be more empathetic when you have a personal struggle and connection
This was so well done .. and so accurate. I have worked in non profit, grant writing, school social work and now I’m in the medical field. The MSW degree allows for flexibility
Great content ! Also pretty lip color . I am also a social worker and just started my channel. Thank you for educating others on salaries in social work as I there are a lot of misconceptions about social worker wages. As a social worker last year (2019) I made well over 100k. Social workers can make a decent living !!!! :)
Thank you for this information! I am graduating in May 2021 with a BS in Behavioral and Social Sciences and have been debating about trying for Nursing again but have been encourage to do the MSW program and listening to you and others has helped me to find my step! I will still be able to help society regardless if it is not Nursing. Thank you again!
This video was so interesting. I did not realise how versatile social work can be and it's a great feeling. I just wonder whether these roles apply to social workers based in the UK.
Landongirl Thank you for watching. Im glad you found it interesting! I would guess that a lot of the roles I mentioned also exist in the UK as well, but ofcourse I couldn’t be for certain and you would have to look into it a bit more to confirm.
I am interested in corporate social work, I was just wondering if you could please do a video on corporate social work like you did with the Macro 101 video? Or even do a video comparing the difference between macro and corporate social work? :)
hi and thanks for watching! I see corporate social work as a type of macro social work. and i have a video here that i think you would like: ua-cam.com/video/rGkbPINDWo8/v-deo.html Thank you!
Hi I am a social worker. I would strongly encourage you to get experience interning, volunteering before you choose to get a degree in this field. The reason I say this is because many jobs in the field are highly demanding and stressful with a liability considering we work with vulnerable populations. Your pay often depends on where you live. If you do choose to study social work at the masters level I strongly encourage you to go to an affordable program, not an expensive private school. I am a hiring manager and MSWs from new online schools and older renowned programs are hired and paid the same.
I was definitely stuck on the fence on whether I should pursue a master's in social work or counseling psychology. As I was considering becoming a therapist, but one thing I really like about the social work degree is that it is so versatile. I mistakenly earned a non-marketable non-versatile "useless" non-in-demand bachelor's degree and after watching this video and many of your other videos, I'm very interested in switching gears to earning an MSW and possibly an LCSW. Thank you for this video!
When I was a senior in HS I wanted to be a social worker. At least in my state, it required a 3-yr master's degree and thousands of hours of UNPAID, hard work. Only to graduate to make less than what most of my friends who had 2-yr degrees were making. No thank you. I think social workers are very important, but our culture disagrees. Which is why we pay them, like teachers, so little while someone selling garbage straight out of high school can earn 6+ figures a year. High pay in social work is the exception, not the norm. Social workers should be uniting to fight that.
I’m a retired Federal Agent, and I had a friend who worked with the FBI as a Victim’s Advocate on a Indian Reservation. She was making over $90,000.00 a year.
I'm a License Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for Dept of Veteran Affairs in Louisiana! It is extremely challenging to get a position so don't give up bc Federal Employee is HOMeless Veterans, Mental Health, Women Veteran Transitions, outpatient/inpatient, Substance Abuse, spinal cord injuries and disease, polytrauma rehabilitation, palliative care therapeutic and supportive employment,suicide prevention, veterans justice outreach, intake specialist, outreach coordinators, transitional housing liasions,Caregiver coordinators, CEU /EDUCATION Interns, etc.
just graduated with my BSW and sooo ready to get out in the field. thank you for this video and giving me more insight on the different types of SW!!💚💚
Thank you so much for this! Im a mom of 3, I have an undergrad and was in a hotel management position before COVID. Within weeks, all of that GONE. My uncle/family friend convinced me to change career path because he is a social worker taking his Ph.D. I am afraid but your videos are truly helpful with my fear and anxieties. THANK YOU
So glad I came across your video! I just graduated with my MSW and have been applying for medical social work and hospice social work positions. I'm also very interested in your role as a corporate social worker and how you find social work jobs in the corporate sector.
Istruleofightclubs, I wish you much success Sis! I was seriously thinking of doing that in the way 2,000's as a result of helping to take care of my bestie who was sent home to Hospice. However, I think it would be too much for my nerves to take.
Thanks for sharing such insightful and valuable info! I'm graduating with my MSW in ~6 months, and I'm curious if you have any advice for new grads beginning their journey into the social work profession *on micro-, mezzo-, and macro-levels*. especially interested to learn more about corporate social work & medical social work!
Thank you for posting this! I am currently a Human Service Major, and with everything going on, continuing to fight for social justice, and to promote health and well being for many communities- this is very helpful. ❤️
Could you do a video comparing a diploma, bachelor and master of social work ? Really torn on how far I should go with schooling if I could get decent jobs with just a diploma
I’m a Medical Case Worker 11 with the Department of Mental Health La county I started at $21 an hour and now at $33 per hour it took about 7 years to move up but this type of social worker you need bachelor degree in health administration, social work, psychology or any related social science degree. . I have a bachelors in Health Administration which was the main degree they ideally wanted this was back in 2013 when I first started if you speak Spanish you get a bonus . My salary is really good. Then in 2014 I went back to school for my masters MFT and now with this freeze I can’t promote so in the meantime I’m working on getting my hours so when the promotions opens back again I will apply as a Mental Health Clinician so my salary as a medical case worker before taxes was around $69,OOOO and take home salary $63,0000. I make good money and I’m not even working as a therapist yet. My salary will continue to go up once I get promoted as a clinician. So this lady is correct !!!
Hi I came across your channel researching social work. I have a BA in psychology and have started thinking about grad school. I know I want to work with people but I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the MSW route or become a Licensed Counselor. After watching your videos I think I want to take the MSW route. If you have any specific videos geared towards the steps needed to take that route please let me know. Thank you so much for the help. Do you have an email address or Instagram? Some way I can direct message you?
Hello! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you are inspired to go the MSW route. So to go that route, you just need to apply and get into an MSW program. Do you mean how to become a licensed clinical social worker so you can ultimately do therapy? If so, I don't have any videos about that route. I didnt take that route. My instagram is in the description!
Thank you for this video! I am interested in learning more about corporate diversity and inclusion positions and the path to take right after obtaining an MSW.
Thank you Ellie, and I am sorry that you feel like that. I often feel that people see the field in a negative light too, and its very discouraging ! Glad I could bring a different perspective!
Just graduated with a B.S. in social work and im looking to go to grad school. I was interested in where my degree can take me, this video helped! Thank you!
I really appreciate this because it provides me some good options to apply myself to once I retire from my current position. I do want to add that medical social work pay has increased especially in the hospice and palliative care setting; depending on experience. At my organization it is about $ 75-90,000.00 with a pension. I am on the higher end with 11 years experience. Also if you work in hospital that is non profit, you can get loans forgiven. I did.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos. I'm currently in the technology industry but unsatisfied with my career, so I've been thinking about going to grad school to get an MSW and enter the social work field. It's obviously a huge decision, but so many of your videos address so many of my concerns, and in such a personable and approachable way. You're helping me and so many other people. Thank you for doing what you're doing!!!
Brad, if you’re thinking about it, look into & if u like what u hear, go for it! I just my MSW program @ Walden. Its an online program, which is beneficial during this pandemic. Ain’t nothing to it but to do it! Good luck to u! This video is very informative!
Thanks a lot for this informative and motivating video for social workers. I have an experience of around 11years in the social sector. Feeling inspired to settle in Canada. Thanks a lot.
In California in the MSW programs such as USC or Cal State Long Beach your concentration in their MSW program has to be in Children, Family and Wellbeing to qualify for their Pupil Personal Service Credential. In the PPSC post program you have to be bilingual, passed the CBEST test for LAUSD and tuition is like $1500. I also add the school district wants you to have your LCSW
OMG! I find that the certs and qualifications in California are always some of the strictest in the country. Like I know for example, becoming a JD is so intense there. In Cali, there are no options for Social Workers who didn't focus in a specific area during their MSW program to become social social workers later? In Michigan where I live, you don't have to focus in a specific area. You just have to get your MSW, and the practicum experience as well as supervision and your license.
i just did more research from state to state and it varies so much. thanks for your comment. i'm going to edit out the part where i mention that you don't necessarily have to get the training during your MSW program, just so it doesn't lead to too much confusion!
Wow. Not bad my social worker masters student buddy was humiliating me for being a truck business owner at age 23 with 3 trucks. But little does he know each truck generates 5-7k a week per truck. He’s on the right track going to school for free due to his mother being a professor’s assistant. But he has no work experience in that field. I tell him to focus less on his rap career and focus on getting an internship. I want all my buddies to succeed. I tried the college route but I just couldn’t get over the fact that they kept telling me I’d “work for a great company”. I never wanted to work for anyone. In fact, now I have employees with college degrees working for me because they couldn’t get a decent job in their field. But I hope within the next year or two I can go back to school and finish my degree in marketing and learn more on how to manage my money.
Love Love Love this video. I do have a quick question though. Are all of these jobs only for after grad school? I am a BSW student currently and wont get my Masters for another couple of years.
Very good video! I’m pursuing my BSW and definitely had some concerns about obtaining a livable wage as well as what particular aspect of social work interested me the most. Thanks for helping me to make better sense of these job titles that I’ve seen on Indeed, Simply Hired, etc.
Just got accepted and committed to a MSW program! Loved this video! I've heard things from people like don't expect too much from grad school programs and that it will be hard to get a job. How did you get the most out of your program and what was the job market like for you when you graduate?
congratulations!! I have a video all about my grad school experience that I posted a few months ago, and I talk about how I made the best of the experience and made recommendations. And I didn’t jump right into the social work field after I graduated. I taught English in Korea directly after. But once I got back to the US, I found a position directly after!
Hi Mind your Society, I graduated with a minor in Social Work and thinking of going for an MSW.. I am a good listener and always striving to make positive change in any lives I can touch. Do you think Mental health is a good fit? I am currently in GA and can't seem to find a school with such specialty. Is it an additional certification after the licensure?
Hi, awesome channel and wealth of information. I'm currently studying for my LMSW exam ... I plan to do clinical work-hospital- then maybe later on look into policy or my own private practice especially considering the economy now.
I am so glad that I clicked on your video. I am currently in the Masters degree program for Social Work. I have upgraded my resume my only issue is that I lack the confidence of selling myself. My question to you is, can you post a video on interviewing for corporate positions because I need my confidence to match my resume.
Can you please tell me what’s the job title that works best for someone who wants to create programs to assist people who are in need like homeless or low income family and any people who need all different sort of help, I want to be able to work with people individually as well as come up with solutions to fix their issues. Which specific job position that deal with all that is high paid? I appreciate your video I’m having issues finding the perfect job position and I have been researching for weeks now. Thank you,
@@MindyourSociety That's good to know. I think often times people get into SW and think that the types of positions we are able to get are limited to social services so it's great to see someone, especially a woman of color, putting this information out there for us. I just subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos! =)
Stacy M thank you ! There are so many options in social work. I have a series that I’m working on where I’m gonna highlight all kinds of outside of the box jobs for social workers. The first of the series is on Fund development, which I uploaded about 5 days ago. And congrats on graduation!
After working the hospitality/tourist industry for 10 years, I have decided to go back to college and get a degree in Human services. (I love helping people) Your videos are helping me decide where exactly I want to go. Thank you💗
Thank you for you video. Are there any teaching opportunities for social workers to teach at a college level? How can I tie my legal background and social work?
Awesome videos! Thank you for the information! Do you have any suggestions for social work careers that are physically engaging (that day decently :)? I was looking in to adventure therapy.
I want to do adventure therapy too! I will finish my masters in social work May 2022. Have you found any adventure therapy positions? I will be looking for some after I graduate. I live in Bryan, TX. Are you in Texas as well?
Your video is very informative and gives future potential Social Workers a positive outlook on the field of Social Work. My question to you is do you know if there is such a thing as a Bariatric's clinic social worker? If so wouldn't this be considered to be a medical social worker?And lastly what is your advice for getting into this particular field?
Hello! I had no idea this existed until I did a little googling! Looks like social workers do work in bariatric clinics! Yes looks like you would go on the path to become a licensed clinical social worker to be most effective with helping that population. Thank you, Jeremy.
Hi Gabby. I have recently come to a cross roads in my life and am wanting to change career paths (to hopefully social work) and your channel is just what I needed. I've been so confused lately about which grad school to apply to and the pressure of making the "correct" decision to ultimately do something I love while making a difference. My sister is a LMFT and she has given me some insights about social work but I needed to hear from someone who is in the field and has the experience. I subscribed and will be checking out your other videos, website and Instagram! Thank you!
do you already have your lcsw? (Sorry if you already mentioned in one of your videos. I'm still working through them) I'm interested in working in clinical social work so I'm going for it anyways but my biggest worry is that salary will be pitiful without the license or if I can even get a job without the license. As a social worker in the field, do you think having LCSW makes a huge difference in your salary? I'm really worried about money right now because my student loan debt will be huge and I'm willing to sacrifice a lot to pay it off within the first few years after graduation but I really need to know what to expect. And no one really talks openly about money and social work except that they don't get paid enough lol
If you go the clinical route having the LCSW makes a big difference in salary, and that should be a goal. I don’t do clinical. I do macro so it’s not a requirement. I just have my first social work license so my LLMSW.
Hi, I’m ending my 1st semester back since 2016, I am taking classes to get into my schools Social Work program. I was thinking to be a Clinical Social Worker, but with this unprecedented time with COVID 19, I’m thinking about Macro Social Work program at my school. What advice would you give me to help decide what path I should go?
hello thanks for watching! Clinical Social Workers will always be needed. If anything, more than ever because of the public health crisis. Virtual therapy is growing rapidly. Just keep that in mind. It depends on how set you are on that 1 on 1 interaction. With Macro, you just wont get much of that.
Hello! I graduated with a Sociology Degree a year ago and I currently work as a HR Admin at a Energy company. I have always had a passion to give back to the community especially children but get stuck because there are so many different avenues. I would love to work at a non profit organization as an HR Rep not sure where to begin? Please advise! Thank you!
I’d start by targeting certain non profits I’m interested in, Checking job boards and connecting with the employees on LinkedIn. Also I’d work on any training or prep that I needed to. This is hard for me to answer here because I don’t know where you are in the process . I do offer career coaching if you are interested. Website linked in the description. Thanks for watching!
Hi Gabby, I am enjoying your videos despite the fact that my primary interest is in clinical social work. Can you address this topic for me? I would love your feedback about salaries, and the life of a LCSW person.
Hello Karen ! Thanks for watching. I touch on it a little bit in all of my videos but I may not be the go to person for sharing the life of an LCSW since I don’t have it. There are other awesome youtubers you can check out , such as Social work scrap book :)
So glad I found your channel! I do have a question for you, what are some jobs in the criminal justice field of social work that I can pursue with a criminal justice associates degree? Thank you
Medam in this jobs i would like to help in the schools ..i completed MSW and B.Ed so i would like to have some information about these jobs.can i have ur website or contact number. Please
I’ve been interested in social work ever since I was a foster mom, but I’ve never been sure if “now”, I’m too old to begin this degree. I have 4 years of university when I was heading for my degree in Dental Hygiene. So even tho it’s been awhile, I’m sure all my general courses would count. Do you think there is a cut off age to begin the program?
You are never too old to get formal education!! If you want it, I’d say go for it! My classmates were a range of different ages. There is no cut off age. 🧡
The older you are, the better social worker you will be. I mean there are a lot of 20 something social workers deal with peoples problems they don't even understand due to age.
Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know that I do have an updated version of this video, focusing on top paid SW jobs for 2021! Watch it here after you finish this one: ua-cam.com/video/yb3cU_laczQ/v-deo.html
Hi. Can you make a video on how you got your foot into corporate social work? Or how you pitched yourself on paper to make yourself stand out to a corporate company, as someone with a social work degree? I have my MSW. Thanks so much!
Hello. It happened very non traditionally for me. I went through a fellowship program that placed me at a corporation for the fellowship year and thats how it started. But definitely check out my Corporate 101 video where i talk about more traditional paths.
Hello, I have and MSW and do not have a license yet. Could someone with a just a MSW work in corporate social work? What are the requirements in working in corporate social work? What kind of companies does corporate social work? Thank you so much for your time and this video. You're the best.
Hello! No you don’t need a license to work in corporate social work. And these days, more and more companies are hiring for them. Particularly the larger ones. As far as the requirements, check out my video here where I speak more about what I do. That can help you to identify qualifications. They aren’t set in stone but you should be somewhat business savvy: ua-cam.com/video/rGkbPINDWo8/v-deo.html
Hi, Am completed SW Specialized HR but unfortunately working as a Community Women Facilitator so i would like to know if i want to continue this field is their any challenges will come like our specialization will effect our job?
@@shahdalmalky6071 Yes! But it's such a needed profession, up there with teachers and nurses. They don't see that though, they only see that it is lowpaying.

Thank you for educating others on salaries in social work as I there are a lot of misconceptions about social worker wages. As a social worker last year (2019) I made well over 100k. Social workers can make a decent living !!!! :)
Wow! Do you mind sharing what your job is?
Yes with the right trainings and investments 😊
What! That’s amazing, what do you do?
I went a brought a large journal just to take notes on your videos.
Thank you for this information! I am graduating in May 2021 with a BS in Behavioral and Social Sciences and have been debating about trying for Nursing again but have been encourage to do the MSW program and listening to you and others has helped me to find my step! I will still be able to help society regardless if it is not Nursing. Thank you again!
This video was so interesting. I did not realise how versatile social work can be and it's a great feeling. I just wonder whether these roles apply to social workers based in the UK.
Landongirl Thank you for watching. Im glad you found it interesting! I would guess that a lot of the roles I mentioned also exist in the UK as well, but ofcourse I couldn’t be for certain and you would have to look into it a bit more to confirm.
@@MindyourSociety Yes, searching right now. Thanks for the inspiration.
@@Landongirl did you manage to find out anything yet? I'm interested too 😊
I am interested in corporate social work, I was just wondering if you could please do a video on corporate social work like you did with the Macro 101 video? Or even do a video comparing the difference between macro and corporate social work? :)
hi and thanks for watching! I see corporate social work as a type of macro social work. and i have a video here that i think you would like: ua-cam.com/video/rGkbPINDWo8/v-deo.html
Thank you!
Thank you for this video I’m 21 and I’m interested in going to school for social work. I loved your energy thanks
Hi I am a social worker. I would strongly encourage you to get experience interning, volunteering before you choose to get a degree in this field. The reason I say this is because many jobs in the field are highly demanding and stressful with a liability considering we work with vulnerable populations. Your pay often depends on where you live. If you do choose to study social work at the masters level I strongly encourage you to go to an affordable program, not an expensive private school. I am a hiring manager and MSWs from new online schools and older renowned programs are hired and paid the same.
@@jbarnes4271 thank you for this! Super helpful
I was definitely stuck on the fence on whether I should pursue a master's in social work or counseling psychology. As I was considering becoming a therapist, but one thing I really like about the social work degree is that it is so versatile. I mistakenly earned a non-marketable non-versatile "useless" non-in-demand bachelor's degree and after watching this video and many of your other videos, I'm very interested in switching gears to earning an MSW and possibly an LCSW. Thank you for this video!
what degree was it?
What degree was it
I graduated with my master and I am looking into the US department of justice.
When I was a senior in HS I wanted to be a social worker. At least in my state, it required a 3-yr master's degree and thousands of hours of UNPAID, hard work. Only to graduate to make less than what most of my friends who had 2-yr degrees were making. No thank you. I think social workers are very important, but our culture disagrees. Which is why we pay them, like teachers, so little while someone selling garbage straight out of high school can earn 6+ figures a year.
High pay in social work is the exception, not the norm. Social workers should be uniting to fight that.
I’m a retired Federal Agent, and I had a friend who worked with the FBI as a Victim’s Advocate on a Indian Reservation. She was making over $90,000.00 a year.
How did she get that job?
I worked for a Native American Tribe. Just talk to their HR or hiring area. If that doesn't work, go to Indian Health Services and look there.
I'm a License Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for Dept of Veteran Affairs in Louisiana! It is extremely challenging to get a position so don't give up bc Federal Employee is HOMeless Veterans, Mental Health, Women Veteran Transitions, outpatient/inpatient, Substance Abuse, spinal cord injuries and disease, polytrauma rehabilitation, palliative care
therapeutic and supportive employment,suicide prevention, veterans justice outreach, intake specialist, outreach coordinators, transitional housing liasions,Caregiver coordinators, CEU /EDUCATION Interns, etc.
I recently changed my major to social work. Your channel has been a great resource!
awesome! glad to hear.
just graduated with my BSW and sooo ready to get out in the field. thank you for this video and giving me more insight on the different types of SW!!💚💚
can I major in sociology and work for CPS? A minor would do nothing right?
Hey
Which are highest paying companies
Thank you so much for this! Im a mom of 3, I have an undergrad and was in a hotel management position before COVID. Within weeks, all of that GONE. My uncle/family friend convinced me to change career path because he is a social worker taking his Ph.D. I am afraid but your videos are truly helpful with my fear and anxieties. THANK YOU
Aww that's awesome! Glad you found my channel :) Wishing you luck.
This was very informative! I have my MSW and I never heard of corporate SW until seeing your videos.
This was great information to have. I would love to hear more about Corporate Social work.. would you be willing to do a video on this? Thank you!
Hello! I just uploaded a new video focused on this just a few weeks ago! Please scroll up to my newest videos to check it out!
So glad I came across your video! I just graduated with my MSW and have been applying for medical social work and hospice social work positions. I'm also very interested in your role as a corporate social worker and how you find social work jobs in the corporate sector.
Did you get a job?
Istruleofightclubs, I wish you much success Sis! I was seriously thinking of doing that in the way 2,000's as a result of helping to take care of my bestie who was sent home to Hospice. However, I think it would be too much for my nerves to take.
I wish I had found your channel sooner!! Thank you for your knowledge 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing such insightful and valuable info! I'm graduating with my MSW in ~6 months, and I'm curious if you have any advice for new grads beginning their journey into the social work profession *on micro-, mezzo-, and macro-levels*.
especially interested to learn more about corporate social work & medical social work!
Very interesting and very well done, thank you! Good sound, clear information, everything is just perfect!
Thank you for the info. I've been looking for a new career path and I think social work is it!
Thank you for posting this! I am currently a Human Service Major, and with everything going on, continuing to fight for social justice, and to promote health and well being for many communities- this is very helpful. ❤️
Good luck dear 🥰
thank you for posting this! I am an MSW student in CT and am truly trying to broaden what jobs to be looking at
Could you do a video comparing a diploma, bachelor and master of social work ? Really torn on how far I should go with schooling if I could get decent jobs with just a diploma
Hello!! What is a common title for an entry level corporate social worker? I am looking into it.
Also, is this HR or what is more of what you do?
I’m a Medical Case Worker 11 with the Department of Mental Health La county I started at $21 an hour and now at $33 per hour it took about 7 years to move up but this type of social worker you need bachelor degree in health administration, social work, psychology or any related social science degree. . I have a bachelors in Health Administration which was the main degree they ideally wanted this was back in 2013 when I first started if you speak Spanish you get a bonus . My salary is really good. Then in 2014 I went back to school for my masters MFT and now with this freeze I can’t promote so in the meantime I’m working on getting my hours so when the promotions opens back again I will apply as a Mental Health Clinician so my salary as a medical case worker before taxes was around $69,OOOO and take home salary $63,0000. I make good money and I’m not even working as a therapist yet. My salary will continue to go up once I get promoted as a clinician. So this lady is correct !!!
Hi I came across your channel researching social work. I have a BA in psychology and have started thinking about grad school. I know I want to work with people but I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the MSW route or become a Licensed Counselor. After watching your videos I think I want to take the MSW route. If you have any specific videos geared towards the steps needed to take that route please let me know. Thank you so much for the help. Do you have an email address or Instagram? Some way I can direct message you?
Hello! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you are inspired to go the MSW route. So to go that route, you just need to apply and get into an MSW program. Do you mean how to become a licensed clinical social worker so you can ultimately do therapy? If so, I don't have any videos about that route. I didnt take that route. My instagram is in the description!
@@MindyourSociety ok thank you so much
Thank you so much for your videos! Im in Australia with a finance background looking to go into social work. your videos have been so helpful!
I enjoyed watching your video. Medical Social Worker here 🙋🏿♀️.
Thank you so much for stopping by!! I appreciate your support 💜
Thank you for this video! I am interested in learning more about corporate diversity and inclusion positions and the path to take right after obtaining an MSW.
T-ariel thanks for watching! I’m gonna make a video about this soon!
Love your energy. I am perusing a degree in social work and there is little positive opinions on it which is very discouraging.
Thank you Ellie, and I am sorry that you feel like that. I often feel that people see the field in a negative light too, and its very discouraging ! Glad I could bring a different perspective!
This was perfect and timely for me as I am in my foundation year of my MSW program in quite a bit of debt....Thank you!
I graduate in December with my MSW but I already have 7 years exp in the field. This video makes me hopeful for the future.
Your is what sells you the most
Just graduated with a B.S. in social work and im looking to go to grad school. I was interested in where my degree can take me, this video helped! Thank you!
I really appreciate this because it provides me some good options to apply myself to once I retire from my current position. I do want to add that medical social work pay has increased especially in the hospice and palliative care setting; depending on experience. At my organization it is about $ 75-90,000.00 with a pension. I am on the higher end with 11 years experience. Also if you work in hospital that is non profit, you can get loans forgiven. I did.
Oh I loved this! Thank you for informing me about the advantages.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos. I'm currently in the technology industry but unsatisfied with my career, so I've been thinking about going to grad school to get an MSW and enter the social work field. It's obviously a huge decision, but so many of your videos address so many of my concerns, and in such a personable and approachable way. You're helping me and so many other people. Thank you for doing what you're doing!!!
Thank you so much!!! I’m glad these videos are helpful for you all.
Brad, if you’re thinking about it, look into & if u like what u hear, go for it! I just my MSW program @ Walden. Its an online program, which is beneficial during this pandemic. Ain’t nothing to it but to do it! Good luck to u! This video is very informative!
Thank u for enlightening with various organizations to work with as a social worker in the UK
Thanks a lot for this informative and motivating video for social workers. I have an experience of around 11years in the social sector. Feeling inspired to settle in Canada. Thanks a lot.
Hey di can we talk on Instagram I've some queries
What a great and necessary video! I'm currently interested in pursuing some experience in program evaluation for sure.
The Revolution Will Be Planned thank you so much! Yes I think that’s a great career choice.
In California in the MSW programs such as USC or Cal State Long Beach your concentration in their MSW program has to be in Children, Family and Wellbeing to qualify for their Pupil Personal Service Credential. In the PPSC post program you have to be bilingual, passed the CBEST test for LAUSD and tuition is like $1500. I also add the school district wants you to have your LCSW
OMG! I find that the certs and qualifications in California are always some of the strictest in the country. Like I know for example, becoming a JD is so intense there. In Cali, there are no options for Social Workers who didn't focus in a specific area during their MSW program to become social social workers later? In Michigan where I live, you don't have to focus in a specific area. You just have to get your MSW, and the practicum experience as well as supervision and your license.
i just did more research from state to state and it varies so much. thanks for your comment. i'm going to edit out the part where i mention that you don't necessarily have to get the training during your MSW program, just so it doesn't lead to too much confusion!
Wow. Not bad my social worker masters student buddy was humiliating me for being a truck business owner at age 23 with 3 trucks. But little does he know each truck generates 5-7k a week per truck. He’s on the right track going to school for free due to his mother being a professor’s assistant. But he has no work experience in that field. I tell him to focus less on his rap career and focus on getting an internship. I want all my buddies to succeed. I tried the college route but I just couldn’t get over the fact that they kept telling me I’d “work for a great company”. I never wanted to work for anyone. In fact, now I have employees with college degrees working for me because they couldn’t get a decent job in their field. But I hope within the next year or two I can go back to school and finish my degree in marketing and learn more on how to manage my money.
Thank you for this video. Perfect timing for me! 😊 Could you do a video on getting a Bachelor's in Gerontology vs in Social Work?
Hello! Thanks for watching. Sorry I don’t really know anything about that field. Wishing you the best with choosing your path!
This video was very informative! Thank you!
Love Love Love this video. I do have a quick question though. Are all of these jobs only for after grad school? I am a BSW student currently and wont get my Masters for another couple of years.
Hello! Thanks so much. Most of them do require an MSW. That’s truly what I’ve found is the way to get the higher paid jobs in the field.
@@MindyourSociety That makes perfect sense. Thank you so much for this. I will keep this in mind when I do enter into my graduate program..
Very good video! I’m pursuing my BSW and definitely had some concerns about obtaining a livable wage as well as what particular aspect of social work interested me the most. Thanks for helping me to make better sense of these job titles that I’ve seen on Indeed, Simply Hired, etc.
no problem! glad i could help. Thanks for tuning in!
Thanx a lot for this video, m 25 years experience n interested in working in the UK soon
Thank you so much for this information! Great video!!
Just got accepted and committed to a MSW program! Loved this video! I've heard things from people like don't expect too much from grad school programs and that it will be hard to get a job. How did you get the most out of your program and what was the job market like for you when you graduate?
congratulations!! I have a video all about my grad school experience that I posted a few months ago, and I talk about how I made the best of the experience and made recommendations. And I didn’t jump right into the social work field after I graduated. I taught English in Korea directly after. But once I got back to the US, I found a position directly after!
@@MindyourSociety I will check that video out! Thank you for replying!! So happy to have found your channel
Hi Mind your Society, I graduated with a minor in Social Work and thinking of going for an MSW.. I am a good listener and always striving to make positive change in any lives I can touch. Do you think Mental health is a good fit? I am currently in GA and can't seem to find a school with such specialty. Is it an additional certification after the licensure?
Thanks for this video! You are wonderful!
hello and thanks for watching! I have a video all about it here :) ua-cam.com/video/rGkbPINDWo8/v-deo.html
Hi, great content, any relationship between Education (B.ed) and community social work?
Hi, awesome channel and wealth of information. I'm currently studying for my LMSW exam ... I plan to do clinical work-hospital- then maybe later on look into policy or my own private practice especially considering the economy now.
Congrats 🍾🎉🎊
@@healthcareonthego6947 Thank you!
Wishing you all the best!
I am so glad that I clicked on your video. I am currently in the Masters degree program for Social Work. I have upgraded my resume my only issue is that I lack the confidence of selling myself. My question to you is, can you post a video on interviewing for corporate positions because I need my confidence to match my resume.
Can you please tell me what’s the job title that works best for someone who wants to create programs to assist people who are in need like homeless or low income family and any people who need all different sort of help, I want to be able to work with people individually as well as come up with solutions to fix their issues. Which specific job position that deal with all that is high paid? I appreciate your video I’m having issues finding the perfect job position and I have been researching for weeks now. Thank you,
I just earned my MSW this month so THANK YOU so much for this video. Did you get your LCSW before getting into Corporate SW?
Stacy M you are welcome! I don’t have my LCSW and don’t need it for my work position at all.
@@MindyourSociety That's good to know. I think often times people get into SW and think that the types of positions we are able to get are limited to social services so it's great to see someone, especially a woman of color, putting this information out there for us. I just subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos! =)
Stacy M thank you ! There are so many options in social work. I have a series that I’m working on where I’m gonna highlight all kinds of outside of the box jobs for social workers. The first of the series is on Fund development, which I uploaded about 5 days ago. And congrats on graduation!
Thank you for this video!!! How do you find corporate social work jobs? Is there a trick or do you have to just keep searching
thanks for watching! check out my video called "corporate social work 101" as I talk more about that there!
Very informative keep it up
Great information ❤
After working the hospitality/tourist industry for 10 years, I have decided to go back to college and get a degree in Human services. (I love helping people) Your videos are helping me decide where exactly I want to go. Thank you💗
Thank you for you video. Are there any teaching opportunities for social workers to teach at a college level?
How can I tie my legal background and social work?
Very informative video!! Would you recommend International Social worker?
Awesome videos! Thank you for the information! Do you have any suggestions for social work careers that are physically engaging (that day decently :)? I was looking in to adventure therapy.
I want to do adventure therapy too! I will finish my masters in social work May 2022. Have you found any adventure therapy positions? I will be looking for some after I graduate. I live in Bryan, TX. Are you in Texas as well?
@@Ajussbn hey
@@Ajussbn suggest me also
Great information, thank you so much!
I’m a social worker who works in cooperate.. great salary, bonuses and raises but high stress levels.
Your video is very informative and gives future potential Social Workers a positive outlook on the field of Social Work. My question to you is do you know if there is such a thing as a Bariatric's clinic social worker? If so wouldn't this be considered to be a medical social worker?And lastly what is your advice for getting into this particular field?
Hello! I had no idea this existed until I did a little googling! Looks like social workers do work in bariatric clinics! Yes looks like you would go on the path to become a licensed clinical social worker to be most effective with helping that population. Thank you, Jeremy.
Hi Gabby. I have recently come to a cross roads in my life and am wanting to change career paths (to hopefully social work) and your channel is just what I needed. I've been so confused lately about which grad school to apply to and the pressure of making the "correct" decision to ultimately do something I love while making a difference. My sister is a LMFT and she has given me some insights about social work but I needed to hear from someone who is in the field and has the experience. I subscribed and will be checking out your other videos, website and Instagram! Thank you!
Aww thank you so much! Im so happy these videos could help you to get some clarity. And thank you for the support. Stay in touch!
Great informative video!
do you already have your lcsw? (Sorry if you already mentioned in one of your videos. I'm still working through them)
I'm interested in working in clinical social work so I'm going for it anyways but my biggest worry is that salary will be pitiful without the license or if I can even get a job without the license.
As a social worker in the field, do you think having LCSW makes a huge difference in your salary?
I'm really worried about money right now because my student loan debt will be huge and I'm willing to sacrifice a lot to pay it off within the first few years after graduation but I really need to know what to expect.
And no one really talks openly about money and social work except that they don't get paid enough lol
If you go the clinical route having the LCSW makes a big difference in salary, and that should be a goal. I don’t do clinical. I do macro so it’s not a requirement. I just have my first social work license so my LLMSW.
Very helpful video thank you!
Very informative video, thanks for making it
Hi, I’m ending my 1st semester back since 2016, I am taking classes to get into my schools Social Work program. I was thinking to be a Clinical Social Worker, but with this unprecedented time with COVID 19, I’m thinking about Macro Social Work program at my school. What advice would you give me to help decide what path I should go?
hello thanks for watching! Clinical Social Workers will always be needed. If anything, more than ever because of the public health crisis. Virtual therapy is growing rapidly. Just keep that in mind. It depends on how set you are on that 1 on 1 interaction. With Macro, you just wont get much of that.
Hello! I graduated with a Sociology Degree a year ago and I currently work as a HR Admin at a Energy company. I have always had a passion to give back to the community especially children but get stuck because there are so many different avenues. I would love to work at a non profit organization as an HR Rep not sure where to begin? Please advise! Thank you!
I’d start by targeting certain non profits I’m interested in, Checking job boards and connecting with the employees on LinkedIn. Also I’d work on any training or prep that I needed to. This is hard for me to answer here because I don’t know where you are in the process . I do offer career coaching if you are interested. Website linked in the description. Thanks for watching!
Hi Gabby, I am enjoying your videos despite the fact that my primary interest is in clinical social work. Can you address this topic for me? I would love your feedback about salaries, and the life of a LCSW person.
Hello Karen ! Thanks for watching. I touch on it a little bit in all of my videos but I may not be the go to person for sharing the life of an LCSW since I don’t have it. There are other awesome youtubers you can check out , such as Social work scrap book :)
Thank you so much for your information!
Thank you for the video it's very informative.
So glad I found your channel! I do have a question for you, what are some jobs in the criminal justice field of social work that I can pursue with a criminal justice associates degree? Thank you
Medam in this jobs i would like to help in the schools ..i completed MSW and B.Ed so i would like to have some information about these jobs.can i have ur website or contact number. Please
I’ve been interested in social work ever since I was a foster mom, but I’ve never been sure if “now”, I’m too old to begin this degree. I have 4 years of university when I was heading for my degree in Dental Hygiene. So even tho it’s been awhile, I’m sure all my general courses would count. Do you think there is a cut off age to begin the program?
You are never too old to get formal education!! If you want it, I’d say go for it! My classmates were a range of different ages. There is no cut off age. 🧡
Mind your Society thank you so much for your encouragement! I’m going to be sure and check into it!
The older you are, the better social worker you will be. I mean there are a lot of 20 something social workers deal with peoples problems they don't even understand due to age.
Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know that I do have an updated version of this video, focusing on top paid SW jobs for 2021! Watch it here after you finish this one: ua-cam.com/video/yb3cU_laczQ/v-deo.html
hello I appreciate your video! what did your get your masters in, in order to obtain a corporate social work job?
I love social working
Hi. Can you make a video on how you got your foot into corporate social work? Or how you pitched yourself on paper to make yourself stand out to a corporate company, as someone with a social work degree? I have my MSW. Thanks so much!
Hello. It happened very non traditionally for me. I went through a fellowship program that placed me at a corporation for the fellowship year and thats how it started. But definitely check out my Corporate 101 video where i talk about more traditional paths.
Hello, I have and MSW and do not have a license yet. Could someone with a just a MSW work in corporate social work? What are the requirements in working in corporate social work? What kind of companies does corporate social work? Thank you so much for your time and this video. You're the best.
Hello! No you don’t need a license to work in corporate social work. And these days, more and more companies are hiring for them. Particularly the larger ones. As far as the requirements, check out my video here where I speak more about what I do. That can help you to identify qualifications. They aren’t set in stone but you should be somewhat business savvy: ua-cam.com/video/rGkbPINDWo8/v-deo.html
If you have an MSW can you pursue any of the mentioned positions without state licensure?
Hi,
Am completed SW Specialized HR but unfortunately working as a Community Women Facilitator so i would like to know if i want to continue this field is their any challenges will come like our specialization will effect our job?
I'm going to show my parents this video!
Same!! 😭
Social work is such an underrated job
@@shahdalmalky6071 Yes! But it's such a needed profession, up there with teachers and nurses. They don't see that though, they only see that it is lowpaying.
DanceDiva234 ikr , that’s why I study social work 😅
Money is not what I care about the most, I want to pour my heart & time in a job that would make me feel proud of myself as a human being.
Good info. Thanks.
