How can I become a social worker in the Twin Cities,MN and what is the salary?

Question

I want to make sure that this is something that I could do. I think the pay might be equal to what teachers and police officers make.

Answer 1

There is a school of social work at the University of Minnesota, so that would probably be a good place to start.  Here is the website: http://cehd.umn.edu/ssw/

As far as salaries go, it depends on the degree.  A bachelor's degree (BSW) will get you a starting salary in the $30,000 range.  A master's degree (MSW) more like $40,000.  For more information: http://www.socialworkers.org/pubs/choice...
