I think it depends on where you practice and how many kinds of insurance you accept, etc. My former T was an MSW and I suspect she did okay. My current T is a Ph.D. and I suspect she does okay as well.
And it's not as profitable to be a doc anymore either, especially with the rising cost of malpractice insurance and such. My pdoc runs a large number of clinical trials for pharm. companies, b/c he says that's where the money is.
Lots of factors. But I expect that, while I will certainly never become rich as an MSW therapist, I will do okay. Right now it's not very profitable in my current field! :-b
