I am a medical social worker at a hospital since graduating with my MSW. I have been at the job a year and feeling burnout with little options for movement within the company at the moment. Besides case management and therapy (no individual, school, or CMH), what else can I do with my degree? Any advice is appreciated! :)

You have a lot of opportunities with a MSW. What was your reason for getting the degree?

Also what’s your own personal WHY underneath the job? Not just “to help people.” Really do the deep work of knowing your WHY. (Google Simon sinek!)
