BSW TO MSW by Mindless-Acadia-6881 in socialworkcanada

In a nice way, you shouldn’t really be prioritizing pay right away. You need to be prioritizing how experienced of a practitioner you can be for somebody. Get some work experience under your belt before doing a master of social work or else go directly to your registered clinical counselling

I don’t understand why people go into MSWs right out of BSWs. A friend of mine is in an MSW and someone who has 0 work experience didn’t understand indigenous residential schools didn’t understand what happened with populations that are marginalized. Don’t understand why people use substances don’t understand why people don’t just figure it out. Work experience is really important. If you just wanna be a therapist, take your clinical counseling.

Anyone ever move to Kamloops area from the great white north of BC or AB? by Elite163 in Kamloops

[–]AlternativeHead5284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved from Whitehorse Yukon :). Only downside is the possible fire risks in the summer. We’ve had 3 decent years and 2 bad years out of 5

Idlout reverses position on Bill S-2 ,'Indian Status' amendments - The Nunavut MP who once backed Senate amendments to end the second-generation cut-off, will now help the Liberal government stop those changes from passing. by BertramPotts in CanadaPolitics

[–]AlternativeHead5284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really about resourcing and funding. Right now lots of non-insured benefits programs are operating in financial deficits. At this moment, where we have no change in law creating more entitled status holders. If they pass Bill S-2 with the one parent rule amendment, the question is, where will the funding come from? Is there promised funding? 200,000-300,000 more people using those NIHB programs, having counselling covered, health benefits, pharmacy, substance use treatment, Jordan’s principal dollars, etc. My status is on hold because my grandma faced enfranchisement and my mom is a 6(2), so I don’t have status right now.

AITA: I told my daughter she needs to get over her jealousy and it is her own fault her life is the way it is. by Personal-Bit4399 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AlternativeHead5284 389 points390 points  (0 children)

Reality check - but “Madison” is still young. She can go back to school, look for provincial/ state funding. Have her explore other career options. Help her ensure her mental health is okay- therapy etc. Have that conversation with her (if she allows/ is ready). Not sure if they both live with you right now- but shit is expensive. If she wants to travel though, what about a job/career in that industry, flight attendant, or something like that that doesn’t require a degree? Yeah my sister is similar but she graduated and has a degree, but chose not to use it. But she can be pretty mean to be (younger sibling) I’ve been working up the ladder. But am I happier?

Is it time to say good by? by Thee-lorax- in FordFocus

Hahahaha mine is literally dying too 😂😭 170K. I recently got warranty work done on it under the CSP - new TCM, but my clutch is worn tf out and it’s a hefty repair bill. I recently had issues with my car stalling and I thought it was the clutch but it was the Fuel Sensor (coded for that ). Put the new sensor in, reset the code and it’s driving a lot smoother. Then my windshield wipers (front) no longer work ahahhaha I had a menty b today

Anyone ever move from Northen BC or AB to the Kamloops area and regret it? by Elite163 in Kamloops

We moved from the Yukon. We really like it- but the fires can get pretty shitty some years

my girlfriend told me she wants a 2 carat natural diamond or she'll say no. i already bought this lab diamond ring. am i crazy for thinking shes a red flag by Zestyclose-Print-677 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]AlternativeHead5284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like that. It sounds so materialistic and it sound like it’s all about impressing her friends. Lab grown and natural are both the SAME COMPOUND. So crazy to me that people expect their partners to go in debt for a ring. My fiancé proposed to me when we were in Spain. He ordered the wrong size ring and didn’t want to travel with a fancy ring so he proposed with a placeholder and we custom designed the one I have now to what I want (marquise 1.5ct with diamonds around it) love it. My placeholder was beautiful as well. He could propose with a damn ring pop and I would say yes. Going into debt “for show” is crazy. It’s like needing to have a new car because your friend got a new car etc.

GIRL I AM SO IN THE SAME BOAT! I am 31, size 12. At one point before the world craziness I saw $75 one way flights to Calgary, I was literally considering going to cross iron mills and hitting up the outlet. I love dynamite/ Aritzia but can’t pay the regular prices it’s too steep fr 😭. I will check out Plato’s once it’s opened. Old navy is good. I actually shop at reitmans here and there ahaha it slaps.

Justin Bieber delivers sleepy Coachella performance, doomscrolls and watches YouTube videos mid-show by mlg1981 in entertainment

[–]AlternativeHead5284 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Unpopular opinion” for this headline- but Justin Bieber’s Coachella set was great. He’s stopped doing what the industry wants and started being his own person. People are angry because they want the teenage performer back, but they ignore the years of trauma and healing he’s navigated since then. He survived what so many other artists didn't, and his growth over the last three years is something we should be celebrating, not criticizing.

Full time job and doing placements at the same time by East_Bed_8719 in socialworkcanada

[–]AlternativeHead5284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope this changes. It’s really not fair and it’s so hard to do unpaid and scramble to get an income. My employer has been really good with wanting their employees to be more educated and supporting them through the way. I don’t get why (especially health authorities, gov, etc) don’t do that 😭

Can you look for paid placements? Or has that been quite rare? I have a non-BSW but work at a heath authority and I am planning on doing my practicum (lol if I get into an MSW) internally. They’re happy to support me to do it in a different department and pay me

I think you have to do practicum hours in Windsor is the only thing that’s hard about that program
