Best Jobs For Former Case Managers [2023]

It’s tough to be a case manager nowadays, and more and more of them are losing confidence in their own profession.

While the amount of people majoring in courses preparing people for a job as a case manager isn’t necessarily dropping, fewer and fewer people are applying to become case managers in the first place and the workforce itself is looking grim.

With so many case managers no longer sticking around, this begs the question:

What are they all doing now?
