    You could both work at residential treatment facilities for youth that includes the schooling component :) There are some private ones where you could make some money!

    [QUOTE]I'm getting an MBA. Starting salaries are around the $80k mark. A classmate of mine graduated and her starting salary was $40k more than what she was making before, plus annual bonuses. She makes well into the 6 figure range now. I can't wait until I get my degree. No guarentee I'll make that, but I'm sure I'll make about double what I make now, since I get paid crap (but the benefits rock!).

    My friends living in Portland with an mba making 40k should probably hit the road and move to Boston. Or commute!

    This is a reminder as to why I NEED to take my damn license exam.  The problem is, we will most likely be moving again soon, and generally licences aren't transferable  to other states (which is stupid because it's a NATIONAL EXAM). So I keep using that as an excuse to put it.  That, and I am terrified of failing and feeling like a big fat loser.  i've been putting it off for 2 years now Embarassed

    Ha- he actually works at a private at risk school and makes 32,000 a year. The social worker at his school is my friends aunt, and I hear she make 60,000 a year. A think she should retire and I will take over! But that could be all talk.

  • FWIW FMIL is a social worker and she's a supervisor. She told me some of the girls without their LICSW with a few years experience are getting about 45k. Thsi is not in one of the "big hospitals" either.

    Those 2 professionals do not get paid enough money for everything you have to do!
  • LP, when I was looking at moving, for the states I looked into -- depending on your LICSW score -- would transfer your license for a fee.

    But it was all about money. But I'd pay through the nose instead of having to take the LICSW exam again.

    Ha! Yes! It depends a lot of work experience too. This friend had about 10 years of experience under her belt. Another friend I know has only 2-3 years and makes $60k. It depends a lot on experience.

    ha my parents don't make even 40k combined....wrap your head around that!  I had no idea, I never felt like I did without, my mom was very good at budgeting.  I make 3k less then they do & I don't know how they do it.

  • Kati, we've taken kids from out of state, but it's a mess with the funding streams. We've had a few from out west. It's just tricky having a stable family component when they are at best a plane ride away, but it does happen! And yes. It's private. Which is nice to not have to worry about government cuts and things like that.

    Pay for student loans? It's expensive to go to school to get paid that much! I have a lawyer friend who went to Yale and NYU for UG and Law School, respectively, and owes about $250k in loans. She makes a really nice salary, but, they're poor for the time being because of all her loans. They'll be gone soon enough though!

  • Uffda. 250,000 in student loans just blows my mind. BLOWS IT.

  • Mike only went to college and he makes more than double what I do. No fair.
    Although, liberal arts masters degrees do not make a pretty penny at all so I don't expect to make what he does until I have much more experience.

    H has a bachelors and makes more than twice what I do. But again, I don't have a full time teaching job. I'm still mad at everyone who told me I wouldn't be able to get a teaching job WITHOUT a masters degree.

  • Well you do some great work Fische! And how lucky to not have to deal with government cuts. Counties, cities and the state are definitely making cuts here. It is very sad.

    True, but if you think about it probably cost just as much to get a MSW as it does to get an MBA How much is an MBA?  A masters degree in social work from where I went is 80,000 if you don't do advance standing. In that case it is 40,000 (luckily that is what I did!)

    I haven't even taken my LGSW/LSW exam yet.  I suck.  So it'll be at least 2 more years before I can get my LISW/LCSW. 

    I'm hoping that when we move this next time, we will stay there for long term and then I'll be move motivated to take the exam.  I've received great performance reviews from all of my supervisors and they've all encouraged me to just bite the bullet do it, but I'm so scared of failing it's ridiculous.

  • Thanks, Katie! What do you do out there?

    I have my fair share of student loans due to going to a private liberal arts college and then deciding to go somewhere where I had out of state tuition, but not near 250,000

  • Ok totally just wondering....just want to see everyones opinions...I ddn't go to college so I don't know.

    But do all of you feel like it was worth it?  Going to school getting your degrees yet being in debt so much?
  • I didn't either fish! Well I told fi. It was 260 dollars and I couldn't imagine failing and letting everyone know that.

  • Beach, I totally think it was worth it, but my parents pay my student loans, so my perspective is a bit different, I suppose.

    [QUOTE]BeachBride - I'm from ithe South Bend area (actually a town Granger, if you've ever heard of it).  I went to college at the University of Indianapolis for a couple of years and then transferred to Purdue.  My family also lived in the Indy metro area (Carmel) when I was younger.  I LOVE Indianapolis and that's where we are hoping to move soon.  It's big enough that there are things to do, but not so big that it's overwhelming.
