[quote=Anonymous]I strongly advise you not to pay any more than you have to for social work degree. It does not matter in social work where you get your degree. Additionally, most jobs will require that you have an independently clinical license.  You will not be be reimbursable  by insurance companies until you have this licensure.  This will take at least two years post graduation. You will need to work under supervision during this time. Some jobs provide the supervision as part of the job, but in other cases you will have to pay for the supervision.  During those two years, the pay may be fairly low.

We will need to do internships as part of the program. Typically about 20 hours a week, and these internships are typically unpaid.

I am finishing an MSW program online right now. I love the work, and already have a job post graduation. However the pay is not even close to what I was making as an attorney.  Once I get my independent licensure, I can go into private practice and drastically increase my income. However, that is assuming I am able to fill my caseload.[/quote]
