A person who went to at least a 4 year school after high school and graduated with a Bachelors in Social Work (BSW). A person who went to at least six years of school after high school and graduated with a Master in Social Work (MSW). A person who grasps the ability of empathy and compassion while working out in the field, the class work has nothing to do with the easy of the job.
