Upon the upcoming fall semester, I will be pursuing a career as a physical therapist asst. throughout the summer the thoughts of changing majors has been in the back of my mind.
I want to do something working with kids, helping them. The criminology field is also something I might consider but don鈥檛 know about the career options for working with kids.
With a social work major, what types of career choices would I be looking at?
Is it best to stick with my major and help kids physically more than socially or mentally?
Are there any careers in the criminology field associated with helping children?
I know there are a lot of questions here, I鈥檓 just curious to see what鈥檚 out there. People with experience in these fields would be a great help. Thanks so much. :)
Physical therapist asst. major..social work major change? HELP!?
Physical Therapy assisted sounds like an associate degree level program. Social work requires a minimum of a BSW, though you can get into the human services with an AA degree (some areas with a H.S. degree - but you will have not upward mobility.
The BSW is a very versitile degree that allows you to work with many different populations in many different settings. You actually may be able to transfer to a BSW program with an AA in physical theapy (just be sure to hit the required prerequisits - as most BSW programs do not have many courses at the freshman and sophmore level).
