Yes, exactly. I teach college mathematics and I work with pre-service math teachers. They get jobs almost immediately. You will be competing for jobs in social work with persons who have experience, masters degrees, and PhDs. If you are looking for a career, teaching is great! However, you can also continue your education while teaching and add counseling certification to your teaching background.
