Considerations. If you have not filed a W-4 with your employer showing that you are exempt from federal tax withholding, the payroll department might have made an error. Check with your employer or someone in the payroll department as soon as possible to correct the error.f your employer shows you as exempt from federal taxes, it means that he is not withholding taxes from your paycheck. Although some employees are exempt, most are not.
The PhD in social work is strictly for research. You do not get more clinical training and thus the MSW is the terminal degree for professional practice. A social work PhD will not have any more clinical training than an MSW.
Master's Degree. Although continuing school beyond a bachelor's degree takes extra time, a graduate program in social work often means advancing your career and opening up more job opportunities. Not every master's of social work (MSW) program requires applicants to have a bachelor's in social work as well.
