Major career change, cosmetology to MSW/LMSW

[bjcheung77]

@bonjourcat, Welcome to the board, that's a good introduction post with the addendum/template and some extra info, I'm going to copy/paste what I mentioned in the previous thread that was linked earlier about the MSW program seeker. Can you answer the same questions below? You can also review the pathways I mentioned as well if you wanted...

Welcome to the board, great initial intro post with basic addendum and template details.  Just a quick question, are you planning just MSW or would you be pivoting to different yet similar roles such as Counselling or Family Therapy, etc?  It really depends how you want to play your cards, since you mentioned a BA Psych, you can or may want to get the TESU or UMPI BA Psych, if you can get away with a minor, you can do the TESU BALS Psych or UMPI BLS Psych and ladder that to a Walden MS Psych and lastly join the PSY CHI Society if you want to stay in the field of Psychology.  If you want to pivot to Counselling or Family Therapy, get the Masters of your choice at Kairos University, you can decide which way to go and maybe even go for the Kairos Doctorate...

Here is a possible pathway you may want to investigate: https://kairos.edu/academics/programs/
MASTER OF ARTS IN COUNSELING
MASTER OF ARTS IN MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY
DOCTOR OF PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING
