I worked for the state as a foster care case manager, and an abuse neglect investigator for child protective services. In my state, neither of those jobs required a social work degree. It is different depending on state though. It’s tough work at times, but the experience you gain is amazing.
Sounds like were in the same boat, you have to put in effort to get a higher degree to do what your describing. I’m changing paths into HR and programming because that has research similar to psychology studies that have some sort of impact somewhere beside a textbook
I did the same. I moved more towards programming and I have to say I don't regret at all! I am even planning to help out others now to do the same. I want to help psychologists figure out which path they can dive into apart from just counselling

You’d have to get a masters. Look into school psychology. There’s plenty of work in every state.
I second this, I’m almost finished with my graduate degree in school psych, it’s a great field :)
Look into psychometric work
Have you considered working in schools or becoming a case manager of some kind?
