Shall i stick with my Psychology Major? Or go into Social Work?

[Lyndsey Brooke]

In order to work as a social worker in most states, you need a Master's in Social Work (MSW). A Bachelor's in Social Work probably won't get you much of anywhere. I'd stick with Psychology for your BA and then get your Master's in either social work, marriage/family counseling (MFT), professional counseling, etc. With your BA in Psychology, you can get a job working with children even if you don't go straight into a Master's program. You never know what might happen, considering graduate school is more competitive than undergraduate school.

If you love Psychology, stick with Psychology. If you love what you do, you'll be successful in it. Think of it this way: If the unemployment rate is as high as 10%, that means rougly 90% of people are employed. The odds are in your favor if you have a college degree. I agree with the first person who answered, don't change your career path based on the economy. By the time you graduate, it most likely won't be the same anyways.
