The United States faces an unprecedented demand for skilled social workers. While private companies and health maintenance organizations take on the challenge of preventing and treating mental illness, a variety of private and public organizations employ social work professionals to help citizens cope with a variety of problems.

Accredited social work degree programs provide students with the critical skills they need to help people overcome their challenges. Social work students learn how to cope with the potential stress of their careers, while solving problems in their specialty fields.

Depending on the kind of social work career you want to pursue, you can choose from a variety of specialized degree programs. If you want to work as a counselor or clinician, you can enroll in concentrations that develop your ability to ease the pain of clients and patients. Future social work administrators can approach the field with management and professional development courses that pave the way for key leadership roles in a variety of agencies.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that social work professionals earn a median annual salary of $32,000 to $37,000, depending on their specialty. Social work jobs are stable and abundant, as agencies expand to handle more cases every day.
