How much money does a Social Worker with a Masters make?

I was interested in majoring and eventually getting a PhD in Clinical Psychology! After a lot of research, I thought that a Social Worker would be better for me, because I like dealing directly with people and helping children and families in need! I like both fields (based on research), but I don't know which is better for my interests! Also, Psychology seems to be based on a lot of theories and assumptions. My problem is that in Social Work, you don't make loads of money (but I would like what I do), while a career in Psychology is very hard to come by!

An MSW generally makes 30-60K to start - depending on where you live and what form of practice you do. After 5 years that salary goes to 40-80K (can be higher but this is the realistic range.

Reply:Why would you think that a career in psychology would be hard to come by??? I have a sister who's a social worker with 25+ years of experience and she's making about about 90,000 and that was cut from her last job. But she took psychology classes as an undergraduate. I have another brother who's has a master degree in fact he's only a few degrees away from a PH. D. in psychology and he's had jobs from writing for the Congressional Black Caucus, to being a therapist and now he teaches at he's sons school. There are a lot of jobs that you can get with a degree in psychology.
