Not all social workers have to care about being licensed or doing clinical work

And that's the part of social work that I get excited about

  • Social work is so much more than just clinical

    • ​Although many programs and people treat it like it is​

  • People with social work degrees don't necessarily have to be in positions where they are called a "social worker"- like Ms. Castro!

  • I am interested in the part of it called Management and Policy​

  • Social work is a great vehicle for change because you can use it to gain better understanding of the policies that govern our everyday lives​
