How about school social work jobs? That is probably where the money will be. A friend of mine was a school social worker before she moved to FLorida last year.
It's definitely a challenge and so sad since the work you do is so important!!!... how long have you been out of school? My first job after I got my masters in counseling, I made like no $, less than the majority of my friends w/o masters. It completely depressed me but within the next 4 years, I almost doubled my salary. Now I am working on my PhD in Counseling, doubt the monetary payoff will be worth it but it's worth it for what I am doing/learning. Good Luck!!!
I got my masters in july. What type of places did u look for counseling positions? Is it just kind of walking in? I did my first intern at william floyd and second at brookhaven mem hospital. schools only hire 1 msw and u r lucky if u r it.

Pardon me if this is an ignorant response, but can you start your own practice? I don't know what's involved-sorry again if I didn't make sense.

Not usually right away, it's difficult to get clients. And to get reimbursed my insurance, you need to obtain your license, for some insurance cos. you even need additional years of post license supervision before insurance will reimburse.
After four years of 'paying my dues' I finally got a job in a school. There are so many agencies on long island that hire social workers, but I cant vouch for the pay. If you are looking to get into the schools, try some of the agencies that place SW in schools. Granted, your salary will come from the agency, but the experience with kids is what the schools look for.
Its just a really bad time right now. My friend graduated in May with her MSW and has been interviewing since then and she's still unemployed. Just keep looking, good luck.

I wasnt sure exactly what u meant by agencies that place in schools. Which companies do that? I wouldnt mond that but I am not sure who does this type of thing. never heard of it or maybe I am misunderstanding. thanks for the info.
I know there's an agency called TEMPO that places in schools. We have a TEMPO social worker in our school.
