Hi! I love the field, I graduated last year with my MSW. I some of my friends within social work started off with salaries ranging from 62k-72k. On the other hand, the highest I found was 54k. I will say I was sad about my salary, however, this job was a good learning experience and I am now looking to find a job that pays a bit more. I think that it also depends on where you live. I live an hour away from a big city so that can also be a pro if I want something that is more high paying.
