Need advice with degree plan for TESC. Human Services vs. Psychology

It could be that I am an anomoly, but in my particular case just about any degree I get that relates to social work/human services/criminal justice would help me on the job front.

Sure. That's why a degree in human services doesn't give one an advantage over someone with a degree in psychology or social science.

The problem for me, specifically because I am focusing more on helping women with issues like criminal justice/domestic violence/human traffickings/rights blended with non-profit communications & fundraising, is that most programs are a lot more broad & not gender focused. I think sometimes know where you want to go is the key to planning how you will get these.

If the courses are coded as SOC (and sometimes AOJ), then they will fit into a social science program.

In New Mexico specifically though, there are tons of jobs open in human services & as long as your degree somehow relates, they will hire you. Social work though is much more selective.

I bet most of those social work jobs require a masters degree.
