[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a therapist. I see 25-30 clients per week. I probably 10-15 hours of admin work per week between internal meetings, documentation, and marketing/networking.

Before I did this, I worked in admin at various organizations, and there was ALWAYS down time. In a 40 hour work week, I probably worked 4-5 hours a day, tops, but it was spread out over the 8-9 hours I was in my office.

In my current career, there is no down time while I am actively "working" with clients. I have 2-3 cancellations per week for whatever reasons, so occasionally I get an unexpected break, but there is very little time to goof off at work the way I used to in my nonprofit days. Probably a good thing, ultimately.[/quote]

How much do you make? I'm in school for an MSW planning to go into private practice or maybe a small group practice.[/quote]

I net $85k this year, but I also didn’t work for an extended period this summer because my dad died. This year it’ll probably be closer to $100k. I’m in a small group practice, am paneled with a few insurance companies, and don’t specialize in any particular population or problem.

This board will consider that a “low salary” for a master’s degree but I love what I do and feel well compensated for it. I’m also a social worker and started in community mental health. I switched to this practice when I got my clinical license. We hire associates but the pay and experience in community mental health was better.[/quote]
