Social Workers?
You will need a minimum of a BSW (you can go to www.cswe.org to find which programs in your area offer an accredited degree in social work). A BSW takes 4 years. You may wish to go on for a MSW and with a BSW you can do this in one year (rather than 2)





Social workers do MANY different things depending on the actual area you work in - social workers are involved in clinical work (therapy) at individual, group and family levels, social workers do policy work, community work, administrative/organizational work. They work in hospitals, schools, youth centers, eldercare, and more.
