RN to MSW or MFT

I have an AAS nursing degree. I have been debating for several years going back to school to do counseling. I do know that counseling is the direction I want to take but I am wondering what track is the best. I have considered the CLSW as a faster track if I could get a BSN and go directly into a masters program for social work. But I am unsure if a BSN would allow me to go directly into a MSW program?

The program I am looking at for MFT will take about 4.5- 5 years from where I am now.

The MSW if I could get in with a BSN would take about 3.5.

    I firmly believe in the saying about if you get a job doing what you love you will never work a day in your life.

    But...I just have to point out, I have an ADN, my husband has a MSW, LCSW, and is bilingual. I made more money working 32 hours a week than he did working 40 hour weeks. He worked in various areas for the county we lived in He never tried to work in an independant counseling center or open his own counseling practice.

    LCSW have many more opportunities in the job market, as well as more flexibility within the "industry".
