I want to be an LCSW what do I need to do?
I am a senior in college studying psychology to become a LCSW. I do not have any internships, and my GPA IS 2.6.

I also am in a service organization and work with underserved populations and. I have a brother with severe intellectual disability, so I have experience around people with challenges. I am considering taking a fieldwork class next semester to get more experience with developmentally challenged individuals.
I want to become a lobbyist, tips?
My first well-paying job was at a machine shop which specializes in turbines and pumps. So, naturally, I fell in love with the manufacturing industry; however, I have always had interest in government. I thought how I could connect my two interests and a career in the environmental seemed like a good idea. I am currently a sophomore at Indiana University studying Environmental Management, and I want to be a lobbyist. Now, before I start, I realize there is multiple ways to become a lobbyist. Here is my plan (after college): First, I want industry experience. I believe starting out in the private sector will provide me with a different point of view. I will be able to know exactly how these environmental policies affect our industry and how to debate my side of the argument effectively. Now, law school is definitely in the question. When do I go? After college? Should I work in the field first? Do I even really need law school? It would be very beneficial... Lets just say, I don't go to law school. Now, here is my dilemma. I have the knowledge of the industry. How do I network with these officials? What groups do I join? What internships do I look for? Basically, how do I become a lobbyist? Once I have established myself, I plan to gain knowledge in, and lobby for, other issues. What is the best course of action, given my plans, going forward? I appreciate all feedback. Thank you for your time. #lobbyist #government #environment #policy #law #career
Does any job available after studying environmental studies provide the chance of working with animals/doing field work in general AND pays well? what are some other good jobs available?
