Do case managers make more than social workers?

How much do each make and is there really a big difference in what they do? I wanted a job where i can help people mentally, emotionally and physically but i also want to make decent money around 40,000- 50,000..It's not a lot but would able me to pay for bills and maybe even travel once or twice a year hopefully. I wanted to do nursing but i am not sure if i will be good with the math and science. I am a sophomore in college and 19 by the way!

    Hi, i guess it depends. I work in case management and our case managers are nurses

    and are pretty much making 45 an hour. Most hospitals now a days require a nursing degree for

    case management. I advise you to take nursing and do case management. I was the only

    one in my department that was not a nurse and i'm working on it now and i only wish i had done it sooner. Good luck and go for it.

    LISW's have enormous earning potential. Contact an advisor at your school to hash this out...

    No, $45/hr is more like $90,000/yr (there are approximately 2000 work hours in a year if you work full time).

    You should be aware that both salaries and cost of living vary a lot from one state or city to another, so you have to be careful when people tell you their salaries over the internet -- unless they happen to live near you, the information may be almost irrelevant. You can get a rough idea of salaries in your area from sites like salary.com, or ask people in your area if they mind telling you or at least giving you a ball park number on what they make.
