cross-sections and almost all the layers of the society.
United States of America, Jul 16, 2012 -- Let us find out the ways and means to get
in the professions like these which are not mere working for money but also
contributing to a large social cause. Addictions have become a major headache for
the government agencies as well as social workers who all have been trying to
provide rehabilitations to the addicts as well as providing them a new lease of life.
Let us start with addictions workers who actually offers guidance and counseling to
individuals who are addicted to tobacco, alcohol, drugs and various other such
contraband substances. Best is to obtain a four-years bachelor's degree on any of the
branches of social sciences with a specialisation in rehabilitation/counseling while
one can also obtain an associate's degree to start with. A bachelor's in social work,
however, is the most common requirement for all entry-level positions in this
profession while an aspirant must have qualities like being compassionate, having
good organizational and speaking skills and also being keen in handling people.
While for being in the profession of health educators or human services, degree in
social work once again is the popular entry-level requirement while one can also opt
for securing degrees like MSW, Master's in Social Work to ensure getting
assignments in the senior level.
The median annual wage for social workers during May, 2010, according to U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics stands at $42,480 while substance abuse counselors were
paid around $38,120 during the same period. Employment of professionals in these
sectors is expected to rise by an impressive 25 percent during 2010-2020, mentioned
the Bureau report while it adds that the growth would be mainly due to increase in
demand for health care services and social services. Interestingly, the Bureau report
also noted that job opportunities for health educators will rise by a whooping 37
percent during 2010-2020 and growth will be driven by efforts to reduce healthcare
costs by teaching people about healthy habits and healthy behaviors. The Bureau also
find that salaries for human services assistants during the period under consideration
will be at around $28,200.
