Professionals with a Master in Social Work Degree are highly sought-after individuals in the field of clinical social work, community practice and organizational social work. This degree enables graduates to gain leadership positions, or to pursue a doctoral degree. The Occupational Outlook Handbook issued by the US Department of Labor states that social working employment will increase, from now through 2010, at a quicker pace than the average of all professions. This is a result of the baby boom era coming to its sunset years, and requiring more social aid.
