[nabs] What are you studying?

[Laura Glowacki]

Sorry, I don't think I've actually answered this question yet. 
Been swamped with emails.  I can't remember a time when this list 
was more active!  Which is a fantastic thing!

I am studying to get my master's in social work at Jane Addams 
College of social work at University of Illinois at Chicago.  My 
concentration is in mental  health.  I currently take classes and 
have a 24 hour a week internship at a hospital providing 
psychotherapy and supportive counseling.

My goal is to graduate in May and get a job somewhere in Chicago 
or suburbs where I can receive supervision from an LCSW towards 
licensure.  I really enjoy the hospital work environment but am 
certainly open to other experiences.  In this economy, 
particularly in Illinois, social workers can't be very picky 
about where we work.

Just for anyone who doesn't know, if you receive your bachelors 
in social work, your grad program can be shortened a lot since 
you won't have to take the foundation classes because you 
would've already had that content in undergrad.  My program for 
my master's is only taking me 2 semesters, some other programs 
take 3.

However, having an undergrad in other fields gives you more of a 
variety of backgrounds and would also be helpful when seeking a 
job.

Good luck to all of you!
