[Quiet Man Cometh]

Social Work in Canada requires a specific degree, but you can use an existing alternate BA to upgrade to a MSW if you want to put the work in, and I considered that option. There is a thing called a "Social Services Worker Diploma" which allows people to work in the lower end Social Service jobs. Because of the overworked nature of Social Workers, people are trying to get more work options open for people with diplomas. I was hoping to get into health care with my social work degree, but it was general knowledge at the time that health care jobs generally went to people with masters degrees, and everyone had to do at least two years of general practice. It might not be this way anymore, but that's what it was when I was looking at the profession.

I like my library diploma course now, because the library tech diploma has a fair amount of freedom to it, and unlike Social Work, library work does not have set education requirements to fill the positions.
