Major: Social Work (This Major's Salary over time)
UTA School of Social Work has a very high student-to-teacher ratio. The dean brags about how he has increased the number of students in the program in spite of the fact that it actually lowers the quality of education, and the field of social work is glutted with too many people for the number of available jobs, most of which are low-paying, non-thinking positions. They emphasize empirical evidence to the point that original thinking is discouraged and even suspect. Many of my professors criticized psychiatrists and psychologists in a very bitter and envious way. They are extremely narrow-minded, career-oriented academians and water carriers for the insurance industry's dumbing-down of psychotherapy. They think the social work profession is not well-respected because of the way Hollywood portrays social workers. Ha! Perhaps they should look at themselves, but then that would require perception and some understanding of human nature. I made the mistake of being honest and trying to actually learn something - very naive.
