[humanser] MA in Social Work / MA in Counseling Psychology

[Mary Ann Robinson]

Hi Chelsey,

Welcome to the list.

>From personal experience (and perhaps my personal bias),  a Masters in 
social work or counseling would be more advantageous in the job market than 
a masters in psychology. I believe that a  doctorate in psychology would be 
more marketable than a masters degree.

Mary Ann Robinson, ACSW, CAADC
