Hello Everyone,
I have a few different potential opportunities and/or paths that I can take for the future and was just wondering what you all think is the better option. My ideal goal so far is to become a teaching professor or adjunct professor while doing some form of clinical work. The main question I have is which field should I go into to potentially teach down the road: psychology or social work? I looked on HigherEdJobs and I found more jobs for psychology than social work. I also have the opportunity to go back to the college I graduated from to finish courses to get my BA in Psychology (I only have six courses left). This may help me get my GPA a little higher and also potentially get letters of recommendation from professors instead of just from my supervisors at my job (I currently work full time at a grocery store). Is it better to have letters of recommendations from professors or supervisors or both? Or is it better to just attempt to apply to masters in psychology or MSW programs first? My undergraduate GPA was a 2.69 and I have not taken the GRE.
So long story short:
Which Subject is better to teach in or have more opportunities in: Psychology or Social Work?
Should I finish my BA or try to apply to graduate school?
Is it better to have letters of recommendations from professors or supervisors or both?
Thank you all!
