You are looking for employment as a social work professional. You know you want to work with children. So, you have been interviewed by the two competing children mental health facilities in your area: Children of the Low Country (a private-for-profit org.) and Georgia Regional Children's Hospital (a state-funded org.) You nailed both interviews and receive phone calls from both child mental health facilities requesting your professional employment as a social worker. Children of the Low Country offers you more money and a higher job status position as an administration social worker, while Georgia Regional Children's Hospital offers you less money and a lower job status position as a clinical social worker. Refer to the "private practice" versus "agency practice" debate and reflect on which points of each argument are most important to you.

• Which job offer do you choose? Why?

• Do you struggle with the idea that Children of the

Low Country is a private for-profit organization and GA Regional Children's Hospital is a state funded (agency practice) organization?

• Why? Or why not?
