Credentials are particularly important for those in private practice; some health insurance providers require social workers to have them in order to be reimbursed for services.
Advancement to supervisor, program manager, assistant director, or executive director of a social service agency or department usually requires an advanced degree and related work experience. Other career options for social workers include teaching, research, and consulting. Some of these workers also help formulate government policies by analyzing and advocating policy positions in government agencies, in research institutions, and on legislators' staffs. Some social workers go into private practice. Most private practitioners are clinical social workers who provide psychotherapy, usually paid for through health insurance or by the client themselves. Private practitioners must have at least a master's degree and a period of supervised work experience. A network of contacts for referrals also is essential. Many private practitioners split their time between working for an agency or hospital and working in their private practice.

What should you do if your boss is an idiot?
- Calling anyone an idiot is pretty harsh although there are some unintelligent people holding down positions that makes one wonder how they got their position in the first place. He is your boss so either you can discuss any problems you have with him and perhaps try to help him out or you can look for other work. Try to look at him as just a person and not your boss. He may have personal problems; health problems or be on medications that can cause him to act in a way you cannot handle. If you decide to stay and do nothing then you will only get more frustrated and resentful so above are your only two choices.

Be careful that you haven't just received an advertisement. Many ads are very deceptive: "You may be a winner!" But often they are not telling you that you won. They are encouraging you to enter, and hoping you will buy a subscription. I am not sure what an "imminent winner" is: usually, with sweepstakes, either you won or you didn't win. If you won, they would send you an official (usually certified and/or registered) letter with clear instructions about how to receive your winnings. If you have in fact won something from Publishers Clearing House, the letter should state what you won and what you need to do next.

History of social work in Tanzania?
The History of Social Work in Tanzanian can be traced back to pre-colonial times where communities lived in communities and assisted each other in times of need. The children were regarded as children of the society and the community was obligated to raise a child as your own. This need extended to the elderly and the disabled in the society.
With the coming of the colonialists in search of raw materials, labour and markets as well as areas of investment there was a need to establish schools, hospitals and basic infrastructural lines so as to ease work in plantations and mines. Laws such as the Children and the Young Persons Ordinance of 1937,Affiliation Ordinance of 1949,Probation of Offenders Ordinance of 1947, and Foster Care and Adoption Ordinance of 1955 laid the basic foundation for Social Work in the pre-independence era.
A social welfare department was established after independence in 1961 with the provision of services to the elderly, persons with disability and children started after the Arusha Declaration that reiterated on the need of the disadvantaged to live on the 'sweat' of able bodied persons.
The establishment of the current Institute of Social Work in 1973 formerly known as National Social Welfare Training Institute gave rise to a professional group of social workers particularly in the government structure.
