Say someone wanted to go into Social Work type jobs. Which of these two majors is a better option for future employment: Psychology or Human Services?
I know TESU offers:
BA Psychology
BS in Human Services
Now I am not sure if Human Services is entirely available via alt credit at TESU, but I not just asking about TESU specifically more in a general sense. For someone who wanted to do Helping Professions/Social Work type jobs which degree is a better option? I thought Human Services because Psychology degrees are a dime a dozen and Human Services might stand out more. But I'm not sure because the internet says Psychology majors earn more. I just want to know your thoughts.
Note that I am not personally in trying to earn any of these degrees right now. I just am doing some research for some people I know in a general sense. I know a BSW is probably a better option especially with the advanced standing to an MSW. But for people with prior college credit, a BSW would still take at least a couple of years or more due to rigid requirements, acceptance into the program and sequence of classes. So that is why I am asking between Psych and Human Services.
