If you plan on practicing in the NE licensed social workers function mostly the same as licensed counsellors plus have the larger scope of the option for casework, teaching/education, or even nonprofit management. And in this way you would have access to more billable hours. You can 100% open a private practice, work for a therapy group, do online, but also work for a gov’t funded provider agency. But as Dr Honda said it would be the absolute opposite in CA or other states (each having their own strict regulations and licensing requirements though some states run sister programs/exchanges to make moving and relicensing easier) so do think about where you want to be 10 -20 years from now. I would also consider what sector or group of people you identify strongest with as they will be your closest allies and friends. And of course pay close attention to the hours required to get which license, further hours and education needed to maintain that license, and which degree/program is going to give you the best (for you) supervision. Good luck!

As others have said, I highly recommend Natalie Wynn’s (Contrapoints) videos. She delivers her material in such a witty way, you’d like her Dr Kirk, and Natalie comments on how JK’s hate of trans people, particularly trans women may root in her trauma and fear of men in a way that makes a lot of sense. Also Dr Kirk you have mentioned your dyslexia quite a few times in episodes and I’d like to thank you for that. I am extremely dyslexic, when I had my assessment at 16 the Ed Psych said it was a ‘miracle I’d made it through mainstream education’. I have been discriminated against in my academic career because of my dyslexia which has been disheartening. Without assistive software and aides, reading takes me about 2-3 times as long as it takes my peers and I used to be very embarrassed about this. I have this minor trauma about finally feeling confident to read out loud in a small group in one class age 17, and my teacher who I really liked mocking me because they didn’t realise that I was genuinely struggling and not babbling as a joke or messing around. A point of pride in my personal life that I’ll never forget was reading a page of A4 in front of my company at a work trip and I made mistakes but continued with confidence. Hearing someone I look up to and respect who is so accomplished in the field talk openly about being dyslexic means so very much to me and this representation matters! Thank you!
