Hi everyone,

I am looking into different private agencies but am also considering working with the county.

I would love your views on why you love working with a private agency or just the county?

Additional questions include:

1. Does the pay difference make that much of a difference? I'm really not doing it for the money anyway...

2. Does having that on call social worker from the agency really important? What issues may come up that a social worker is needed ASAP?

3. For my first placement I'm hoping for a relatively easy case and feel that it would only be possible to receive from the county placements. I think that the private agencies get last pick. Do you find this true?

Any insight would be wonderful. THANK YOU ALL! This forum has been great!
