My sister got her master's in social work from the University of Chicago about 25 years ago and she's done several different things with it. She was a Dean of Freshman at Barnard College Sister school to Columbia University, She's been Deputy director of Client Services to the H.E.L.P. organization which was started by Andrew Coumo to help homeless families. She worked there for over 14 years. She's now doing the same thing for another organization called Bailey House that helps people with HIV get services and housing. She also teaches a class at the school for Education at Brooklyn College. She makes over 90 thousand a year at her job at Bailey House and about half that teaching. You have to decide what type of social work that you want to do. My sister is a Administrative Social Worker, but there are other's who do clinical work and therapy. It will take about 2 to three years after undergrad work including the time that you will have to spend doing you internships and working with the population that you want to work with. It's up to you to decide if you really want to help people and if the time and effort is worth it.

The MSW is the most versatile degree in the human services. You can do everything from therapy, to policy, to administration, to community organizing. You can work with any population from individuals, to families, groups, communities, and organizations. You can work with populations such as adults, adol. children, couples. You can work with issues from mental illness, to homelessness, to poverty, to racism, to domestic violence and more. Most MSW programs are about 60 unites (which generally takes 2 years full time). There are part time options that range from 3-4 years. DA
