To the OP – I haven’t studied up much on the aspects of social work but I decided I wanted to major in Psychology, maybe become a counselor, or maybe research. If it’s what you want to do, go ahead and pursue it, Psychology AND Social Work are both fine fields. These people that are like “Ooooh, you need a Ph.D or Psy.D to do anything” Um… yeah, most people who get into the field realize that. Like Peter said, an MD alone will make you a Psychiatrist, and it’s just one more step to getting both of those. After I become more of an “activist” so to speak, I decided I wanted to use my degree to help the LGBT community. I’m… honestly really sick of these self-righteous people who seem to take umbridge with Psychologists… It’s really kind of offensive the hate that Humanties courses seem to bring out in people.
