Like I said under your 2020 video: I have had it up to here with the rhetoric that social work is a poor person’s profession and social workers are broke! We are breaking those generational curses right here, right now! Thanks for this information, Gabby 💕💕

Something I am trying to stop doing is defending my pursuit of an MSW. So many people have negative perceptions of Social Work or MSW degrees. People often assume I will be a SW with CPS and make $20k/year and be miserable, etc. I usually have to explain the different jobs and types of SW and how diverse the degree is. Thank you for putting this awesome info out there on your channel!

This is so incredibly helpful! Thank you for breaking that stigma for social workers. I am pursuing my MSW and every time I mention a degree in social work people feel sorry for me. As social workers we have valuable and useful skills to offer to our employers and the world! Social work is not a vow of poverty.

I have been in this field for 22 years. You do a phenomenal job of shedding light on the profession. I’m currently a public defender social worker.

Such great information (as usual), Gabby, and thanks for the Rich Social Worker shout-out!

I recently learned that FBI agents are usually hired from people in the social sciences and can make an average of around 63K - 190K. Who knew?!

Here's my smiley face! 😊

If it wasn’t for a social worker I wouldn’t be alive today. I am considering going to school this fall for social work and I really appreciate your straightforward approach to this because the schooling in my province for this line or work is not cheap but there is a lot of different types of positions available.

Thank you for making these videos, they are very helpful and informative. I chose to enroll in graduate school for social work and I currently have an AA liberal arts and BA in language and human development (interdisciplinary degree that combines psychology and linguistics). I just got offered a social work job starting at $70k a year here in MA which is more than enough for me. So if anyone here is doubting the field—don’t! It’s not for everyone but you can definitely find a good paying job.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you can always move up in your organization. Social work gives you lots of opportunities to move up to higher positions aka higher pay. You just might have to move around to different agencies ect...

I don’t consider 60k well paid for a masters and license

[agaemar]

Why are Medical social workers not on this list?

[erikafountain]

Thank you I am a recent MSW graduate student now studying for becoming a licensed social worker

[munachimsookafor]

Watched it till the end 😊. I graduated with a bachelors degree in psychology last year summer and I’ve been trying to figure out if I should do a masters degree in social work or counselling psychology. Thank you very much, this was helpful ❤️

Hey Gabby great video! May I suggest referencing the many black and white social workers that are working as legislators in the local state and federal government. Grant it anyone could run for office, but I don't think a lot of people know that its applicable. On the NASW website they a list of them and there's a lot of them.

[shanikajackson]

Graduating Fall 2021 with my BSW ! Thank you for making this video !

You're doing a really great job with your content. It's very inspiring. I've worked in the field in a well paying role under supervision in the United States and I'm now finishing off the MSW. Your videos ( ie. "Why ppl leave the Social Work field") reflect both the reality and the current opportunities as it relates to this field. Well done!

[UnorthodoxThoughts]

Always with the most awesome social work tips 💜

I was thinking about "I need a decent wage to make a living but I didn't where to begin " then your video came up thanks for it.
