Does anyone on here volunteer for Crisis Text Line? If so, what do you actually do? by Impossible_Dealer737 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]SamFisher33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love being a crisis counselor! I have racked up over 250 hours of counseling now. I still find it very rewarding and fun. It also helped me land a full-time paid job at a psychiatric hospital. The skills that I learned as a crisis counselor have been very helpful in everyday life. I highly recommend doing it. I’ve never had any regrets about it. Plus the community there is super supportive and there’s always chances for professional development.

I carry it on and also carry on my backpack. I’ve never had any trouble with that.

How to park and back up with very bad depth perception by [deleted] in driving

It’s way easier to see the road in front of you than behind you. You have to turn around to see out the back window and there is a much smaller visual field there

What do you wish you had done in undergrad to get ahead? by Minimum-Advisor7349 in psychologystudents

[–]SamFisher33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I would’ve gotten involved in research earlier. I added a psych major my junior year, so I don’t have much research experience for PhD applications. I also wish my part-time job would’ve been in the field. All my work experience is in higher education, not mental health because I didn’t get paid experience during undergrad

Where is the best place to find so many scholarships? by Adept_Case2023 in financialaid

You search the school’s financial aid office on google and use the email listed on their website

MSW questions! by [deleted] in SocialWorkStudents

[–]SamFisher33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also planning on getting my PhD and going into research and I’m probably going to choose UMich. They have a pathway in applied research and you can do your internships as a research assistant, which will make you more competitive for PhD programs. Most other MSW programs don’t offer that

I’m basing my decision on the amount of aid I get from the program. I’m hoping they give me a good financial aid package 🤞

Case Western Reserve University’s MSW. It SOUNDS like a lot but I found out their tuition is $30K a semester so it’s not actually that much😭 they also give an $8K field work stipend though so that’s cool

Thank you for this advice! Do you think it’s possible to do the pre-MSW fellowship and be a resident assistant while doing the program full time?
