If I start my career as a case manager for a non-profit organization, will I have the opportunity to advance? |
Will I be able to get higher salaries and apply for other positions? If you are a case manager for a non-profit organization, what state do you live in and what is the starting salary? Thanks. I started off as a caseworker and am now a Program Director, so you can move up. Salaries and opportunities vary greatly depending on the specific type of casemanagement (long term, crisis, disability, etc) and the type of education required. In general, a person wiht a good work ethic that proves to be reliable and interested in learning will have an opportunity to advance. I live in Nevada and starting wage for soemone with a Bachelor's degree is somewhere around $12/hour. Some nonprofits have to do fundraising to stay in operation year after year. If they have multi year contracts, there should be enough room for advancement as they grow. Otherwise, if they hit a bump and don't get funded, you may find yourself looking for work. i was a case manager for an aids project in colorado. from there i went up. once you become a case manager/social worker and know the ins and outs of the county/city's system of medicaid and other social services etc. you will be sought after in other agencies that serve the indigent. if you get at least your BSW or MSW, you will do much better. Starting salaries with degrees are usually $15/hr and they go up from there. remember though, the private sector usually pays better but generally less rewarding. been there, done that...still doing it. |
