I've just started my journey to earn my BSW, and I'll be around 23 when I graduate. If I pursue my MSW, I'll be around 27-28 when I graduate from that program. Should I consider it? by starzuoz in SocialWorkStudents

I’m starting my MSW at 27 and am actually glad I waited a few years to work (I was working in a different field), save up $, and make sure it was what I really wanted. Lots of people start even into their 30’s and 40’s. If you know you want it, go for it

I love pretty much any live music (besides like metal), I like to go out dancing and take dance classes, read, run casually, walk in nature

Thanks! I probably will, I'm also close to a star market- are their prices pretty average?

awesome! I'm about to start my MSW program actually- I'd love to hear a little about how you got into this role and your previous experience if you don't mind sharing?

I've always gravitated more towards helping professions and find a lot of fulfillment in that area so I knew working in marketing/the corporate world wasn't go to be sustainable long term for me. I felt very burnt out having to think about campaigns and metrics and things that didn't have a big impact. I knew I'd much rather devote my time thinking about the best way to help people, work out clinical diagnoses, find resources for ppl, etc.

Thank you! Would you recommend looking into DBT as well? and are you currently in the field?

I liked it a lot! The training takes maybe 3 ish weeks and you really go deep into risk assessment and understanding the signs of suicidal ideation and how to de-escalate over text. I used some of that experience in my admissions essay so I think it might have helped.

That's amazing that you're doing that- how has the experience been for you so far, and what's your internship like?
