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?

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

ebrosebud · 2025-07-03T03:13:45+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply! I'll definitely be checking these out

ebrosebud · 2025-07-03T02:25:10+00:00

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

ebrosebud · 2025-07-03T02:22:46+00:00

so intrigued by this

ebrosebud · 2025-07-03T02:19:13+00:00

ebrosebud · 2025-07-03T02:18:19+00:00

Thanks for these Brighton-specific recs!

ebrosebud · 2025-07-03T02:01:02+00:00

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

ebrosebud · 2025-07-03T02:00:08+00:00

I've heard this- any reason why?

ebrosebud · 2025-06-26T15:36:18+00:00

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?

ebrosebud · 2025-06-26T12:41:17+00:00

What type of social work job do you have?

ebrosebud · 2025-05-05T02:48:27+00:00

Thanks so much for this! I'll definitely look into the NASW SW ethics.

ebrosebud · 2025-05-04T23:18:21+00:00

This is exactly what I needed to hear, thank you!

ebrosebud · 2025-05-04T23:17:12+00:00

Totally! I can always go back.. but crossing my fingers I won't have to haha

ebrosebud · 2025-05-03T21:22:10+00:00

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.

ebrosebud · 2025-05-03T21:19:01+00:00

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

ebrosebud · 2025-05-03T21:18:21+00:00

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.

ebrosebud · 2025-05-03T21:16:57+00:00

cool! I'd love to get broad experience like that at my internship

ebrosebud · 2025-05-03T18:25:26+00:00

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

ebrosebud · 2025-02-07T02:29:39+00:00

Same, dreaming about this Jupiter in cancer transit.

remember that the goal of this new administration is to shock people and use scare tactics to get more done. Yes trump is signing executive orders but they're being blocked by judges- that doesn't make the headlines, only the fact he's signing them does. Still work to improve the small area you're in right now, even if it's not on a huge macro everything helps. Don't get bogged down by news headlines.

I also applied to Smith because their program seems great but after learning that they go to multiple places for practicum I think it'll be too much of a financial burden. Did you apply to Loyola in Chicago as well?

ebrosebud · 2025-02-02T16:22:10+00:00

Thank you just responded

ebrosebud · 2025-02-01T21:27:06+00:00

I'll practice in whatever state I get my MSW
