Question by Desirae: Psychology degree or Social work degree for sub. abuse counseling? PLEASE HELP!?
I have been trying to do research on my own but I can not get a straight answer. I need to know from someone who actually knows, not an opinion. I want to become a substance abuse counselor and I need to know if I need a psychology degree or social work degree. Also, I’d like to know what kind of job I could get with an Associates degree or BA in whichever one I would need. I know it differs in each state I don’t want to be told that. I want to be told what job I can generally get with an Associates or BA in whatever subject I need to major in. I know this is a lot to ask, but this field is hard for me to navigate on my own. Please help if you can!    Read more...
