If you find yourself in this situation, watch this video to get a better idea of what you should consider when making this decision for yourself or helping someone you know.

I earned my BSW then went and got my MSW. I’m a LMSW and only qualify for entry level jobs with low pay since I have no experience. I gave it about 2 years then I went ahead and got my CDL. Kind of wish I made that move earlier and not wasted my money on a social work education.

[@davidsrinivasan7764]

work is the exchange of time and energy for money period even in something as virtuous as social work.

[@thirstyspirit9567]

I seriously needed this. I am about to graduate and I'm already wondering if I'm not cut out for this. I feel so guilty about not doing 'good enough' with the people I work with. I feel so incompetent.

[@RichSocialWorker]

You're not alone in how you're feeling, but you're also probably a lot more "ready" than you might feel. The good news is that a social work degree is never going to be a waste even if you end up doing something else, so there's that! Happy to have a conversation with you about your next steps if you'd like: richsocialworker.com/call.

@@RichSocialWorker so true!

[@Dani-mw5gk]

Yeah! Definitely learned this before I decided to get my degree. We advocate for others and don’t advocate for ourselves! SWers need to stop doing that!

[@RichSocialWorker]

Hopefully more of us are doing that now. 🤞🏽Thanks for your comment, Dnielle. 🤗

[@PKingMSWElevatedWellnessCoach]

Great Video! Right on that edge of leaving!

[@RichSocialWorker]

I'm not worried about you at all, sis. You've got this! xoxo

[@moyannepurcell7624]

Hey Ms. Forde! Love what you are doing with the channel and I am inspired again. Here in Jamaica, I have worked in the field for about 2 years, and I realize that social workers end up doing sooooooooo much other things in the profession that isnt even our role. I think that the govt and even private institutions are greatly misinformed. For that reason, some of us dont enjoy the profession anymore. I even went into Guidance and counselling for another 2 years...but I had a light bulb moment over the past few days watching you. My place is being a social work entrepreneur.,

[@RichSocialWorker]

Funny, Moyanne....I've ALWAYS known you were a social work entrepreneur. 😉Glad you've finally figured it out for yourself. 🙌 Please keep me posted on your future entrepreneurial moves. I have NO DOUBT you'll be a success!💓

[@moyannepurcell7624]

@@RichSocialWorker You did!! Wow! Look at that. And back then I saw myself as an employee. I'm figuring it out a step at a time. It's such a blessing seeing others like you. Greatly inspiring.

[@DwalkerAfterEffectsTemplates]

Awesome Video.

[@RichSocialWorker]

Thanks so much, Danny! You're the best!!!

[@SylviaSmith_53Brend]

I’m no longer a practicing sw as I do more work in sw education and freelance work. However, after some 35 yrs in this profession I have come to the conclusion that whilst this work has given me a somewhat rewarding professional life, the financial rewards have been slim, especially when I consider my level of education, skill and knowledge. I’m making the transition to radio broadcasting and will use the transferable skills I have gained - not sure I will ever be financially rich but have a wealth of experiences lol. Thanks for the video, as usual much food for thought and some actions👍🏾

[@RichSocialWorker]

Thanks for being here as always, Sylvia. With all of your skills and the right strategy you ABSOLUTELY could be rich and sooner than you might think....at the very least you could double the income that you have now. I've seen it happen and it's totally possible. Happy to jump on call to hear your thoughts and help you explore. richsocialworker.com/call.

[@richfaith9992]

Congratulations on your leap of faith. You will do well.

[@nickrepice4360]

I’m an LCSW and I think you missed an important point. This profession is historically and traditionally female. Doctors are historically male and they get paid big bucks. The low pay and poor treatment at work is a result of sexism.

[@RichSocialWorker]

Thanks for your comment, Nick . I think there are several reasons for income disparities. Have you seen my video on how personalit type and career choice impact income as well? Check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4jadnaqd7SVjJo

[@NicieWilliams]

I love what I do. I work with the substance abuse population. Do I want to make more money ABSOLUTELY. I would rather not have a second job ...keep struggling to have to do this again. I am loving your videos very resourceful.

[@RichSocialWorker]

I don't think that most people can say that they love what they do, so that's awesome!... and there are tons of ways to increase your income without working another job. Thanks for being here and stay tuned. I'll be sharing many of those things in upcoming videos!

[@lisagermany4454]

Can you please host another workshop.

[@RichSocialWorker]

Hey Lisa. Sure! What kind of workshop would you like to attend? What do you want to learn?

[@lisagermany4454]

@@RichSocialWorker Thank you for replying! As a woman in social services I would like to learn more about leveling up in social services. I’m very interested in starting my own business and have been watching a few of your videos.
