What different directions can you take getting a degree to become a social worker?
Asked by Louise
I am 23 and wanting to go back to school. I am interested in learning about social workers. I would like to know about the different directions you can take with this. Or is it only working with families and potentially taking kids from their parents? What type of pay is it? Is there a need for social workers out there or are jobs limited?
