Hi there
with a BA in Social work you can be a case worker or community outreach, cunselor in many areas. Just think about what you would feel most happy in and find out from someone who is already in that area and go ask questions. That person is in the trentches and can give you the best response or point you in the right direction.

Hi Bethany:
There are lots of jobs you can do with a BA Social Work. I think it's important for you to consider what population or areas you want to focus on.
Do you enjoy working with young children, school age, teens, adults, older adults, seniors, families, mentally ill, LGBTQ community, foster care youth, etc.?
What setting do you want to work in - school, jail, nursing home, recovery setting, homeless shelter, hospital, etc.?
Entry level social workers can be case mangers, affordable housing resident services coordinator, school social worker, medical social worker, etc.
Good luck!
