I have a BA in psychology, I graduated from an accredited school back in 2013. For context, I went straight from high school into college. In high school I thought I wanted to be a counselor. In my junior year of college, I realized that wasn’t for me. In 2015, I applied for a MSW program (Masters in Social Work) and got accepted into the program. I started the program, everything was going well. I was working full time and going to school on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings/ afternoon. I was enjoying my classes. In 2017, I had a major family crisis (3 people in my family on my mom’s side passed away in a house fire). I had to leave grad school, because I needed to be there for my family, and I thought that was more important at the time. It was a difficult. I have not…


I have a BA in psychology, I graduated from an accredited school back in 2013. For context, I went straight from high school into college. In high school I thought I wanted to be a counselor.

I started the program, everything was going well. I was working full time and going to school on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings/ afternoon. I was enjoying my classes. In 2017, I had a major family crisis (3 people in my family on my mom’s side passed away in a house fire). I had to leave grad school, because I needed to be there for my family, and I thought that was more important at the time. It was a difficult. I have not gone back to grad school since, and I know that is okay. No worries there. I am now 31, and the jobs I’ve applied for and have had, are all entry level. I’m not concerned about that at all. I know having a BA in psychology, you really need a masters degree to progress further. I’be been stuck in my head lately about how I have been having an issue “moving ahead” pay wise. I am grateful to have a job now, and since I’ve graduated in 2013 with my BA, I have had many different jobs, and I know that’s okay too. Lately, I’ve been feeling stuck, and I am wondering if others feel this way also. I have worked with recruiters in the past and didn’t have good experiences with them. Wondering if anyone has had similar experiences/ advice?
