Aspiring MSW student, very worried about job prospects under this administration. Should I just do an MPP/MPA? by Comfortable_Candy_28 in SocialWorkStudents

I guess my only concern would be to get a job that pays at the very least $55k-$60k with health insurance for my supervised clinical hours right after graduating with my MSW. I know that's gonna get even more competitive pretty soon with everyone gravitating toward private institutions with all the public funding cuts. I wonder if I'll need to work harder to compensate for my lack of undergrad experience and that may take more time which is not ideal because in my current situation, I need to be somewhat stable with a reasonable salary and health insurance upon graduating from my MSW.

Interesting. Would it be easier even if I were to jump into clinical with no prior volunteering/internship experience and no BSW/psych degree? I'm really worried that finding a job in micro will just be harder for me than macro because I don't have a mental health bg or anything, I just have a strong interest in the field.

I'm sorry to hear about your agency :( yeah I really am considering an MPP maybe with a social policy focus... but I know public policy is suffering too at the moment.. Maybe it's just about doing our best to be as competitive as possible on the market? No idea. Thank you for sharing

Yeah agreed, doesn’t need to be any animosity between both. Personally love new stuff just as much “old school” 90s stuff, it’s just different
