Vocational Creativity #2: If You’re Thinking About Social Work, Check Out These 5 Careers First - Ep. 69
About this episode
The median salary for a social worker in the US with a graduate degree is $48k. Are there exceptions? Sure. But there are always exceptions.
Monetarily, this is one of the worst fields to buy a degree in. Try anything else before paying for a degree to work in social work or adjacent fields to reduce the risk for yourself.
In this episode, we talked about:
• An overview of court mediators, funeral directors, 911 dispatchers, paralegals, and just plain old working at nonprofits as alternatives for social work interested people. • What's the day-to-day like for these jobs, their requirements, and how you can become one. • The pros and cons of each job to help you see which one fits you the best.
Ryan and Hannah also talk about why you don't need a degree to get all these jobs!
Hope you all enjoy this fun conversation and value-packed episode!
