Human Services or Social Worker?
Hi everyone, I switched from Computer Science to Pre-Social Work at a community college. I have received so much advice that confused me. My case manager encouraged me to pursue in Social Work field which is more job opportunities. My academic advisor encouraged me to consider Human Services for I only have to complete 37 credits in community college (because some of my credits from my previous major counted) while it will be 52 credits in pre-social work. I also looked at the university website where I want to transfer. The BS for Human Services only takes 52 credits to complete, whereas 120 in Social Worker. My questions are: Can I get a Human Services BS and then earn a Social Worker MSW? On the requirement courses, I see courses in Human Services are more interesting than Social Worker. The 2nd question is which one is your recommendation for me? Thank you so much!

I’m 13, and I live in Arizona, I want to know what’s the pros and cons about being a therapist, because I like to help people and want people to fix their situations, and I’m not sure if i will be able to pursue that career. if there are any currently/retired working therapists out there can you let me know by telling me what’s the pros and cons of being one and if it’s not that easy being a therapist and what kind of schooling do I need to be a therapist? And is it worth the time and money to get into being a therapist?
How to go about switching major?
I am currently a Social work student in Michigan. I am considering switching to a Bachelors in Human Services degree that is online because it will allow me to take more variety of courses and electives that match my interest, while not steering away from the helping profession. I believe my social work classes would transfer toward the degree. I'm not sure if the degrees will land me the same jobs and I feel Human service degrees are less common now days. Seeking input and advice. #Transferring #social-work #Human-services
How to find the right entry-level position in the fields of psychology and human services as an unlicensed, post grad.
In December 2018, I graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a bachelors degree in Psychology. Despite my efforts of using Linked in, reaching out to former educators and advisers, and using databases such as Indeed, InHerSight, Glassdoor, and Monster; I still have not landed a relevant job. I never submit a job application with out tailoring my resume and cover letter for the specific position. What am I doing wrong? #job-search #psychology #human-services #nonprofit
