My husband and I are foster parents and this type of degree is what several of our caseworks (not only the placement agency but also CPS caseworkers) have obtained.

I have another friend that works for a company that houses and helps adults with learning disabilities to be able to live on their own outside an institution but with supervision and this type of degree is what some of the individuals in the office hold.

Hope this has given you just a few ideas. I am sure that there are other jobs that this degree would be specific to, check with a univeristy advisor or google it, the best of luck.
