Are we the same person just a few years apart? I'm getting my MSW now! Before I decided to quit my job to go back to school, I worked as a mental health counselor for a few years.

Pit bulls, social work, not-so-great relationships... hmmm

Haha! I think we may be! Hence why I said that it was too bad you didn't live closer to me--I totally think we could hang

I got my MSW in 2004. Great field, mostly crappy pay (but I am sure that you know all this!)

Ohhhh yes. I used to tell people I needed to marry someone with money so I could afford to be a social worker haha.

Right?! I recently went to the dark side (for profit) and increased my pay 50%. And I didn't have to sell my soul or sign anything in blood, lol!

I want to get in on this love too! I'm a social worker, had a pit mix and obviously made bad decisions with relationships!!

Damn, I hate how needy I've become

What do you do now? I'm actually interested in going government or military when I'm done, depending on where I am in my life at that point.

I work for a behavioral health managed care company. I do case consultation for medicaid. Prior to this job I was a therapist and prior to that I did hosptial social work.

XBF always said that I should get into goverment. He tried to convince me to join a branch of the military but I am not cut out for that. I keep my eyes open for VA jobs. They tend to pay well and have great benefits.
