My application and interview is with the state of New Jersey's central office for Social Services, if it helps. I have a Bachelors degree in Sociology, (formerly with a Social Work concentration) and I am not yet a registered Social Worker but that is what I am aiming for. I meet with the department this Wednesday.
My goal is to move up the ladder: get my Masters asap (not exactly an MSW per se but more like a Counseling, MPH/ Occupational Therapy degree) and become a licensed counselor/psychotherapist. I was accepted into a Counseling program for my Masters last July but I did not attend because I wanted work experience.
(More questions) Will working for social services help me go back to school? What are social workers (or case managers) actually paid in the state of New Jersey when they first start? I'd really like if SOCIAL WORKERS answered my question but anyone who knows can answer. Thank you.
ANY SOCIAL WORKERS??! I've applied to Social Services, what reading materials needed to ACE Civil Service Test

Reply:There is no such think as a registered social worker in NJ. The lowest level of social worker is a CSW and you must have a degree in social work from an CSWE accredited program (http://www.nj.gov/lps/ca/social/swlic.ht... You may be able to get a job as a casworker, but not social worker. If you want to do counseling, caseworker will give you some good experience working with clients in very difficult places in their life. As for pay - BSW's in NJ make 40-50K to start. Without a BSW you would probably be lower than this.
