Just like most degrees in the "helping professions", there are a wide range of jobs to be held with an MSW degree. You can work in a hospital as a Med. Soc. Wkr., a school, a skilled nursing facility, as a hospice SW, in law enforcement, in a dialysis unit, with foster children, in child protective services, and the list goes on and on. The varying difference (aside from the job duties) is often pay. Working in the medical field and in govt. agencies tends to be more lucrative, unless you go into therapy and are able to establish a thriving practice. With that being said, the career as a whole (in my opinion, and that of polls throughout the web LOL), Social Work is a VERY BURNOUT field with low pay, in comparison to other less stressful degree areas. There tends to be high turnover rates for this reason and we often hold jobs in agencies that you deal with a lot of "politics" and conflict with advocacy vs. the goals or "agenda" of the employer. Finally, (on my soap box) I feel that the profession has way too many hoops that we have to jump through to obtain employment. Earning the degree post-grad and otherwise is NEVER enough. Passing licensure exams, paying fees, obtaining continued CEU's are just some of the requirements that you will face after graduation to gain/keep employment. I was unaware of some of these obstacles until after graduation. Hope this provides some insight and I hope that I don't sound TOO negative. Remember to keep "self-care" as a priority if you choose to continue in this profession.
