I have a master's degree in social work, but want to go to the community college?
I want to become certified as an addictions couselor, I wanted to do school counseling before, but I don't know what I would be happier doing? The end result is to make more money and be satisfied? If you could write me back to see what you think, this could be helpful?

With your MSW you should be able to qualify for a short certification course in addiction counseling; you may also be able to find a position in a clinic where you'll have some supervision and be able to learn on the job. School counseling work is similar. I'm no social worker, but I've had a supervised course in clinical pastoral education in a general hospital, and met with all kinds of folks. Dealing with addicts can be a challenge; one of the key symptoms of that disease is denial (which means they're often trying to BS themselves and their caregivers). Dealing with teens is a different kind of challenge. Both kinds of work call for inner strength and also for teamwork. I would guess that your happiness will come from the team you're part of.
