Hi, I am considering pursuing an MSW b/c it is a verstile degree and i work for a univ that offers it. I am passionate about painting/art/global work and would like to find a way to integrate these into a career. for the past 7 years, I have worked in non-profit/higher education in fundraising development.
i love the field but, it has always been my dream to do global work and integrate art into practice...not sure of goals...maybe coordinate arts programs for refugees, at-risk urban students .... and teach down the line. maybeadmin, research, fundraising or policy for such an org. what route do you suggest?
also, since i want to integrate art into practice, do i need an art therapy certification?
what steps should i take first to get into the field? I will be volunteering for a local org. that brings volunteers with kids together to create art that focuses on environmental issues and fighting world poverty, terrorism, human rights, etc...
MSW combining passions?
The volunteering while you get the degree is a good way to go. Get as much volunteer experience with several different organizations as possible. That will let you explore the field in a non-risky way.
