the question was do you need a degree to be a social worker
A social worker is someone that has a Social Work degree and licensure as a social worker. This would require either a BSW (bachelors of social work), an MSW (masters), or a doctoral level social work degree. If you are simply wanting to work with the mentally ill and/or addicts, it really depends on what type of employment you are looking for. It is possible to get a position working as a mental health tech / psych tech at a group home or inpatient hospital with just a HS diploma. Case management positions typically require a bachelor's degree with a preference for people with a degree in social work, human services, or a related field. If you are wanting to work as a therapist, you will need a masters level degree. If you are wanting to be an addictions counselor, having a masters degree would definitely help, but you can get a job doing that with a lower level degree.
