Hey everyone!
I'm applying to MSW/MFT/Counseling programs now.
I could go to a program that takes itself seriously and expects you to work hard. I'd spend 50K and work a lot harder. Or I could go to a school that charges 18K - also CSWE accredited - not work as hard - and get the same paper at the end.
I would be willing to pay more for a better education. But LCSWs/LMFTs keep telling me that I will learn NOTHING in school. If that's the case I certainly wouldn't want to pay more for an equally useless education.
Did anyone here feel that they ACTUALLY learned enough useful information in the Master's program they attended that it would be worth an extra 30K, 300 extra internship hours and much more demanding professors?
The answer I'd like to hear is yes, but give it to me straight.
What was your experience?
