[quote=Anonymous]I am a JD/MSW. I’d say a MSW is incredibly versatile for a person called to a helping profession. You find MSWs as therapists, in schools, in hospitals, at non-profits, in business, in activism, in politics. I believe the work social workers do often is unseen and overlooked compared with teachers and nurses. But they have just as much an opportunity to make an impact. I do think LCSW is one of the most attractive routes to private practice in therapy. I will also say that it does take a certain person who can “sit with” a person or family during vulnerable times that is not measured in test scores. That said, you will also find MSWs working in macro realms running non profits and doing program evaluation. A common thread is making the world better in some way. And, yes, getting the actual training of the graduate degree was worthwhile and difficult — at times harder than my JD. I would take a look at the accrediting agency for MSW programs (Council for Social Work Education) to get a sense of the breath of training and skills developed in a MSW program. I hope this helps![/quote]
