Discussion Problem: Why Human Services?
If you could answer the questions "Why human services?" and "Why a master's degree?" what would you say? Any number of reasons could have brought you here to Walden-for example, a desire to advance your career, be a stronger advocate for diverse populations, or hone human services leadership skills. As you continue in your program, it will be important for you to remain connected to these reasons and to your professional goals.
In this first Discussion, you share your vision for your future work as an advanced human services professional practitioner.
To Prepare:
Review your course announcements for possible information related to this week's Discussion and Assignment.
Review the materials on writing effective Discussion posts and responses provided in the Learning Resources.
View the Alumni Stories videos showcasing two of Walden's Human Services alumni.
Reflect on what has motivated you to pursue your MS in Human Services degree, and envision where the degree will take you as a leader and advanced human services professional practitioner.
Post an explanation of your career aspirations as an advanced human services professional practitioner. Specifically, explain why you have chosen human services as a field and describe the impact you have made and would like to make. If you could imagine your own alumni video at the end of your master's journey, what would it look like? How would you envision yourself as a leader? What kinds of projects would you be involved in?
