How can i be a social worker?

Question

i was told if i had my AS degree in criminal justice then i can become a social worker does anybody know if thats true or do i need to have something else???

Answer 1

Yep, you need at least a bachelor's degree in social work, and preferably a master's (MSW).  You should do some research on the career....it is a hard job...heavy case loads, and pay is not great.  It is a noble career...but hard.  And, you will need to get licensed (controlled by your state)...exam.

Answer 2

no you need alot more than that, at least in Mi you do you need Ba in social work and MSW, your looking at 4more years of school
