Major Social Work. Planning a Masters Degree in Social Work

This is the second year I have been going to college in Australia. I have lived in Australia for almost 10 years now and I live on the Gold Coast in Queensland. I worked for quite a while making good money, but when the market took a downturn, my partner said I should do something I would enjoy doing. After contemplating for some time, I thought that I would like to help others dealing with issues such as PTSD and other issues from dealing with traumatic experiences. I learned that Griffith University offered the degree I wanted, and is also one of the better schools in Australia. I find the people here are nice and not afraid to talk or help if needed. The teachers in the school are quite helpful and very knowledgeable in the courses they teach. The campus is nice and is receiving many upgrades to help keep it modern and updated with new structures and equipment to include electronics. All in all, I would have to say it's a great school between the staff and students and campus.
