As someone hoping to go back to school to pursue a degree in social work this video was ver informative! Thank you for taking the time to create it!

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

You are welcome and thank you so much for watching!

As someone who never saw a future for herself but tried to anyway for the loved ones around me, I’ve definitely been a little “behind” in life than others, and felt pressured about that. I should be graduating from highschool this year, but mental health took a toll on me for years and it might take me a little longer than I’d like to get caught up on lost credits. But anyways, It took me a while to think of a career, because I never thought I’d make it to 18. Watching your videos and how well you explain Social Work, and the different kinds of Social Work is very helpful because this is the only field of work I’ve been interested in, so thank you very much! ❤️

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Please keep going at your own pace with your end goal in mind. You got this! Thanks for watching my video and sharing your journey. Best wishes.

As a Chinese student majoring in social work, I first heard of the type of military and veterans social work. Thank you for your introduction！😘😘😘

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Thank you for watching!

[@shalenacarlos3500]

I truly appreciate the simplistic way you briefly broke down each group or area Social Workers work in and the different careers within each subset. I had no idea how much influence social workers could possibly have. However bureaucracy and pushback can occur, I hope to see a time where this influence has stronger legs to stand on so outcome and income are equitable.

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Yes to all of this! Thank you.

[@MxWh1sp3r]

This is so cool! Before this video the first thing that came to my mind when someone talked about social workers was "nicely dressed lady that takes kids away from their families", this was such an eye-opening video! Thank you for making it!

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Thank you so much for watching. And yes, Social Work is so much more than that!

You did an excellent job in explaining the different areas that Social Workers can be employed. You advocated for the field in a manner that shows your are passionate. Thank for opening the eyes of those outside the field, so they to may be encouraged to look within to help determine whether they possess the gift to work along side us. Again thank you!

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Thank you so much for watching and for your thorough feedback. I appreciate you!

[@ashleyritchie7286]

Hi there, this was a really great video, thank you so much for explaining the different roles of what a SW can do! I'm a military veteran and current Firefighter/Paramedic who has been in their own therapy for several years now. It truly has changed my life, and I am working on finishing my BA in Spanish in hopes to look into graduate programs. This video is really helpful because I know theres different routes you can take to become a therapist...but it seems an MSW is more broad than say an LPC or LMHC. again thank you, I can tell you are really passionate about this field! ☺

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Thanks!

[@jellybeanx489]

This helped me understand how many different places I can go. I’m 34 and I love helping people. I just never through about going to school for social work. When I think of a social work. I think of parents and kids and the state. I didn’t know it went to so many different areas.

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

I am glad this was helpful!

[@insertcreativenamehere242]

Do you have a video on what is required to become a social workers?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

It depends on the type of social work you are referring to.

[@nompumeleloprincessdubelif516]

I wanted to do psychology but got accepted under social worker, excited on the new journey

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

@nompumeleloprincessdubelif516 Congratulations!

[@jeffradittmar9671]

i want to go into child and family services, but how do i get employed without working for CPS?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

That is a great question. CPS is not your only option for work in the child and family services field. Depending on your level of education BSW or MSW, you can work as a school social worker, a therapist, a medical social worker to name a few.

Can you please talk about the salary of social workers like your first salary, your previous, or that of other social workers you know without generalizing it by pulling up random range from the internet; that is something that concerns me a lot with going into the field. As it is not talked about a lot in the field. Thanks.

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Hello there. The amount of money you will make as a Social Worker will be based on your field, skills, specialty, certification(s), locations and years of experience . I will suggest using a website like www.salary.com to get a customized salary range.

What would be a field of helping the homeless be for a social worker

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

A social worker can help the homeless by focusing on areas such as homeless outreach, housing stabilization, mental health services, substance abuse counseling, or advocating for affordable housing and support services.

I have a question so if u become a social worker can u work in any department of social workers and how does it works when u choose to study it

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

As a social worker, you can work in different departments such as healthcare, education, child welfare, and mental health.

[@mahomelariccah7632]

@@MillennialSocialWorker so I can study social work and choose the department I want to work in Thank u ❤it helpful

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

The best strategy is to determine what population and field of social work you are interested in and then find a program that best meets your needs. Additionally, talking to an advisor will also be helpful.

[@branver1172]

I have joint issues. Which social work allows the social worker to sit much of the day?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

If you have joint issues and need a social work role that allows for more sitting, consider research, policy development, or administrative positions within social work agencies or organizations. Thanks for watching!

[@PrayThenHustle]

My college offers these 2 master degrees Social Work, Children and Family Services Concentration And Social Work, Mental Health Concentration Would either of those masters degrees I listed apply to the jobs you mentioned? Basically I’m asking are there actual social work master degrees that we should select or are the general or ones above okay?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

The master's degrees in Social Work with concentrations in Children and Family Services and Mental Health should both be applicable to most of the jobs discussed in the video. Keep in mind that the Children and Family Services track is specific to that population. You can select the one that aligns best with your career goals and interests. Best wishes and thanks for watching!

[@naheedakhtar1982]

Hi thank you for this. Can you please take about the difference in salaries x

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Salaries vary. If you are interested in a particular field of social work, you can search online using websites like salary.com to get an idea.

Hi! I am going to school in the summer or fall for my bsw 😃 I was wondering if it would be helpful to work in a mental health setting now so I can get an idea of the field. I am currently employed but looking at other options would love to hear any advice thank you ☺️

Yes, get as much experience as you can. It will help you in the long run. Best wishes and thanks for watching! ❤

I am done my Msw in India.I don’t have license. could you suggest me how can I get license and what type of social work perfect for immigrants. As our accent is different. Thank im advance

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Thank you for watching. I don't have information on how to obtain a license in India. In the States, you have to fulfill certain licensing requirements to obtain a social work license. Please note each state's licensing requirements are different. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide advice on immigration. That is outside of my scope.

If I got a scholarship that fully covers tuition at the #10 MSW in the nation (Boston U), but will need to take out 20,000ish in loans in order to pay living expenses (rent, food, etc), is it worth it?? I have no other debt at the moment. And plan to work part-time + live as modestly as possible.. I have lived in the South my whole life and this would be a big change for me but it feels like such an incredible opportunity that I can't pass up. What do you think?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

Congratulations Savannah! I think weighing the pros and cons will benefit you. It does seem like you already have a plan. Best wishes to you!

[@Marie-sn9lz]

My ultimate goal is to be a domestic violence victims advocate. I've been trying to figure out if I should major in Criminal Justice or Social Work.

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

You can do both. There are universities that offer Criminal Justice Social Work concentration or you can opt for a dual degree in Law and Social Work.

Hello there! I don't think you need to attend any special school to be a Military Social Worker. I will be interviewing a Military Social Worker soon on this channel and will be sure to add this question to my list. Please stay tuned for that and thanks for watching!

[@TheMsgodiva]

What do you think about BA in Criminal Justice and a Masters in Social Work? Are there jobs out there ?

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

You should be able to get into a MSW program with a BA in Criminal Justice. I can't speak on what jobs are out there because I am not familiar with that field of work.

[@rozandeepsingh388]

Is criminal social worker and imigrants and refugees social worker are same

[@MillennialSocialWorker]

No, they are not the same. Criminal Justice Social Work is different from Immigration and Refugee Social Work.

Yes, the social work profession is one that is considered a female-dominated field. There are men in the field and we need more!
