I am excited to find this blog. I am going into my second year of my MSW program. My concentration is social change, so I am more policy/administration focused. I chose this path because I want to start a non-profit that provides tangible resources for the homeless population. I also want to start an education focused after-school program. This year, I am extra excited to begin my concentration year. I am also a little anxious about life after graduate school. I rarely find any blogs or groups that have a focus for macro social workers. Do you have any tips or suggestions on how to prepare for after graduate school. Thank you so much.
