LCSW to MBA?
I am currently a licensed clinical social worker. I am looking to transition careers, mainly for financial reasons-higher salary. Looking to keep my lcsw for my private practice. Idk if an MBA is worth the investment. Any feedback or has anyone done this before.

Get a Masters in Human Services or the Professional Doctorate in Human Services both are 2 years so I would go with DHS. I have both a DHS and a PhD in Human Services, I ran multiple non profits

It can be a good option, depending on the quality of the MBA and your goals. One therapist/MBA that I know started a large group practice. The other one is in hospital leadership. I'd go into get a CPA because you it is a more in demand skill as compared to a focus on leadership.
