[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went back to school for my MSW after 10 years in another career and am now working as a therapist.  I find it to be very interesting, but the pay is terrible (I make 40K and that salary is unlikely to go up unless I go into private practice).[/quote]

I am also a MSW (though not a therapist) - but work in healthcare and make double this. There are other things that one can do (aside from private practice) that pay better.[/quote]

I'm the MSW that wrote about working as a therapist.  I actually don't work in private practice.  I'm curious what sort of job you have in healthcare where you make 80K.  Everyone in my office makes 40-50 K with their LCSWs.[/quote]
Different LICSW here and you are underpaid. I work for a nonprofit city contractor mental health agency and I am underpaid at $58k. If you are a licensed experienced therapist you should be making at least $55k. Do you work for a grassroots agency on a shoestring budget? [/quote]
