I am a sophomore undergrad at a big ten university, and I have very recently decided that med school (for psychiatry) is not for me. I am still very interested in working in a mental health field, but social work makes me wary when it comes to the earning potential after grad school. While I understand that people do not go into social work for the money, it is still somewhat important to me to make a comfortable income. I'm more interested in counseling rather than research, which is what makes social work more appealing than a psychology grad school.
So, I am wondering if there are some fields within social work that make more money than other fields? Is there any way to make a good amount of money (>$70,000) with this degree? Thanks!
