In your opinion what is a better degree to have, a Master's in Social work or Master's in education?
I like teaching and I like education. I thought about being a history teacher one time, but I think my heart is more into counseling people. I have a sociology major with a psychology and religion minor. I am thinking about applying to a Master's in social work program, but I would also like some sort of degree in teaching. If I get a Master's in social work, and then my license as a Licensed social worker, what kind of degree could I pursue to become a teacher- in middle school or high school in the one of the fields of social studies, history, psychology, religion, and sociology. well i already have a bachelors degree in sociology. i had 2 minors when i got my bachelor's degree one in psychology and another in religion.

With a MSW you can go right into being a school guidance counselor. You could double major in a subject and social work and get your Masters in Social work this way you can do an alternate route to teaching should you change your mind.

I would get the teaching degree with a teaching certificate. If you ever want to teach your are going to need that.

Well you should go ahead and get your Master's in social work but perhaps you could also get a teaching certificate.

For teaching, you need to get a teaching certificate, in addition to a bachelor's. The laws might vary by state. You can get a bachelor's in teaching, or you may find a certificate program for teaching, if you have bachelor's in something else. You can also, of course, get a master's in teaching, which might give you a higher income. As far as which is better, between social work and teaching, you are just going to have to follow your heart. They are both rewarding career paths.
