Well luckily in my field (at least in NYS) a licensing law is going into effect this Sept. That should make things a little better at least. I think that the "better" jobs will hire Social Workers who are licensed anyway. Unfortunately non-profits since they don't have as much $$$$$, are not unionized, etc., don't always have this option. In the end, it's always the clients who get screwed by incompetent staff because of reasons like this. It's too early in the morning to vent about the horrible things I've seen because of this, and current messes I am cleaning up right now by former co-workers who lacked both the education and experience and called themselves a "Social Worker".................
