Master of Social Work

love to be able to be a stay at home mother. If I decide to spend as much time as I can with my daughter, I plan on having a part time job in order to have a foot in the door once I decide to become full time. Another thought that I have been considering is continuing my education by pursuing a Master of Social Work (MSW). There are several Universities that I have been considering. If I were to apply, I will apply to USC, UCLA and Cal State University Los Angeles. It is very possible for me to continue my education to get an MSW because there are different options available such as the…

My desire to pursue a master’s degree in social work was fueled by the outcome of my experiences of learning about domestic violence in my undergraduate course. It was also influenced by my active role different organizations where I was able to provide care for child victims of domestic violence. The desire of furthering my studies started way back when I was volunteering at a non-profit organization with an objective of becoming more familiar in working with children that were coming from a…

something I can do better. I feel there is no better way to learn then to learn from the past. I first started the master’s program as a foundation student. Coming into the program as a foundation student had me reflecting back to my bachelor’s program. Since my bachelor’s degree is not social work, I did not have a lot of social work specific information, especially information pertaining to ethics. This reflection point made me realize the importance of becoming aware and understanding the…

I believe Julia has just cause to file an EEOC Complaint and possibly a lawsuit after six years of stellar performance as a counselor with a Masters of Social Work (MSW) degree due to being equally compensated with similarly credentialed newly hired inexperienced male counterparts (Bernardin & Russell, 2013). The Equal Pay Act (EPA) requires equal wages for men and women performing substantially the same job based on the skill, effort, and responsibility required to do the job in question.…

In addition, with the population I plan to work with a Master of Social Work is extremely beneficial to have. After all the work I had done with the children during my undergraduate internship and several papers I had written on child welfare, I found that my passion was to help and heal children. My ultimate goal is to be a legal advocate for children who have been abused or neglected. If I only had a Bachelor’s degree, I would not be able to specialize in child welfare and would only have…

underserved not just by the lack of financial resources and opportunity, but also by laws. My experiences living in Baker helped foment my interests in pursuing a career in the field of law and social work for the overall betterment of my community. During my first six years of childhood, my mother was a single mother left with the financial responsibility of supporting two young children on her own. Memories of my mother struggling to make ends meet are still vivid for me…

I wanted to learn about them I wanted to see what kind of help was out there for people who were in need I wanted to know what kind of help would be out there for when my brother would get older. I wanted to help people the same way that social workers would help my family and my brother. The problem was that I never knew who to ask for more information about the study of social work. It wasn’t until I entered high school when I finally received my first peek of the study of social work. It was…

My professional goal is to obtain a Walden’s Master of Social Work degree with a specialization in crisis and trauma intervention. I would especially like to work with individuals affected by crisis, trauma, and grief, and help them overcome their personal and social problems that have, without a doubt, strong negative influences on their lives. Studying at Walden University is important to me, because this school will give me the knowledge and skills that I need to help people make the most of…

scared that my mother had reached out to CPS for help. While individuals interested in social work may say that their career goals stem from the fact that they would like to “help people”, I understand that social workers cannot change people’s lives, but people can change their own life. And social workers often have the keys and the ability to teach an individual how. Any profession can be considered a “helping profession”: we need dentists, nurses, doctors, accountants, even IRS agents. These…
