Advice

Social Worker - (City withheld for privacy), Texas, United States

My career track has taken me into the chemical dependency field as an BSW, so by the time I received my MSW. I already had 2 years experience as a clinician. This allowed qualified me for a leadership position as a clinican supervisor of facility of 250 and 10 counselors working under me.
