The Paperwork

SOOOOoooo here's the deal.  If you have ever worked in a licensed profession or are currently working in one then you know the paperwork is a huge headache.  But as they say, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!"

...and going...

42 grueling pages later I have an...application!!! exciting.

My license is in Social Work.  I wear many hats, mainly a psychotherapy hat.  In order to transfer your license to the state of New York you have to obtain something known as, "Licensed Master Social Worker Licensing Application Packet." You can get it from www.op.nysed.gov.  You fill out the application, add supporting documents, $294 and tada! Its transferred! I have to admit, I thought  it would be way more expensive.  Nobody tells you about the cost of practicing when you go to school, but let me just say it costs. To obtain my license in DC I'm sure I've spent over a G. When you calculate all the education, registration cost, study materials, study courses, examination costs, and licensing issuing cost I'm sure it's in and around that figure.  Not to mention if you didn't pass it the first time around. I did thank God. Jeesh.

Anywho, I'll keep you posted on my progress...
