    I'm only halfway through this video and I love the info and setup. Like she has a baby in the video, her husband...these are examples of what people really experience. She speaks about real life, working full-time adjusting her schedule due to pregnancy!! Thank you for sharing. Really inspiring!

    Graduating with my bachelor's in may 2020...I'm starting my MSW this year in July 2020. My question is how did you balance working full-time and completing the practicum/ internship? How was it finding placement?

    • @cupofchi_
      @cupofchi_  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sociologist Taylor313 - hey! First, Thank you for watching and congratulations on starting your journey. I always say how grateful I am for a support system because that and having an understanding supervisor (both field and career -wise ) is what helped me tremendously. Be sure to communicate with your supervisors well! Build those relationships with them. Finding a field placement wasn’t difficult for me
      because I always try to network. ❤️

      Crissy C - hi. The college is accredited. I’ve had zero problems with employers. I also received my license with the help of Walden’s teaching. As far as transferring credits, I’m not sure since I’ve never looked into that. I can link you to a resource though. Thank you for watching and good luck on your journey 🥳

      @cupofchi_  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Javen Jones - hey! Thank you for watching ! That was my job while at Walden as well. I would say it did make the journey a *little* less challenging because you’re experiencing some of the things you’re discussing and learning in class while at work. You may be a little more knowledgeable than your peers because of your experience in the field. Good luck on your journey! 💞

      Hey and yes. I truly loved the school. Only con to me was that it’s expensive , but it definitely prepares you for licensure and getting a job was no problem for me. I’m in MS and most decent paying social work jobs require that you have a license.
