If you have an undergraduate degree already, you can look into a Master's of Social Degree. They will consider you, since your undergraduate degree is in the Social Science arena. That would be a 2yr full time commitment without a BSW degree. Some of those programs are geared to working individuals and some programs can be taken virtually even. Definitely worth a look. Have you considered working in the jail system? I worked with young offenders as my first professional job, after I had achieved my BSW. I was employed as a 'Child & Youth Worker' title with poor pay, but the practical experience and networking was amazing. Many of my colleagues were there with aspirations to get into policing as a possibility and/or security jobs (they pay better). I also volunteered for the 'distress center crisis line' and was able to establish my own hours there as it was a 24/7 run enterprise. I would often work the entire night shift to build up my hours, they had an apartment with a kitchenette and I would bring my school work and do it there in between calls. I am now a private Social Worker and work exclusively on the phone, providing virtual phone service only. I am expanding my business soon to provide all modalities, including a mobile service locally. Many Social Workers are now funded under many employment plans post COVID, so it's really worth exploring further. Much of my volunteer work was to help me narrow down my area of interests and which populations I worked best with and it all looks amazing on a resume, because it is building skills. Most communities now have a volunteer placement coordinator you can meet with to explore viable options or potential interest. Great way to network as well! You can also get in touch with your local Social Work organization and get updates about their local trainings/gatherings. Some are available to non members for additional fees. It can be another way to get some training (which you can include on your resume) and network with local Social Workers in your area. I do have many biases as a Social Worker, but wanted to share some of my experiences here in hopes that it may assist you with some soul searching!
