After pursuing a Master's degree in social work, one can apply for jobs in various fields. Job opportunities are always high in the medical field. MSW pass outs with specialization in the medical field can work in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers.
Substance abuse is another area where social workers are high in demand. MSW graduates can work in substance abuse areas like rehabilitation centers, prisons, private practices, and non-profit organizations. Social work graduates help in the treatment and rehabilitation of people addicted to drugs and suffering from problems related to other negative emotions like anger and mood swings.

A master's degree is not required in all areas of social work but mental health is a field that requires a Master's degree with a specialization in mental health.

One can work in community health centers, mental hospitals, schools, and charitable trusts for mental health.

MSW holders can also work for child welfare organizations where they can serve the children who are neglected by parents or children from low-income families.

Another area where social workers can find jobs is social school work. This is one of the most common areas of social work. An MSW graduate can work as a counselor and offer guidance to students and address their issues such as behavioral programs, sexual education, health education, truancy prevention programs, crisis intervention, and communication between teachers, parents, and students.
