From the article: Social Worker: Career Information
When choosing a career, it is helpful to get information about it from those who actually work in the occupation one is considering. Please share information about your career as a social worker so that those thinking of entering this field can make an informed decision.
- Describe what you do as a social worker?
- What do you like about being a social worker? What don't you like about it?
- With the proper training, how easy or difficult is it for someone to get an entry level job as a social worker?
- Are you happy you became a social worker? Why or why not?
A profession, countless possibilities.
- Our service is greatly influenced by the setting you serve, your specialty or location. As a SWKR in community mental health in nigeria, it's challenging to wrestle with the beliefs, values, and tradition. It's tragic some see mental illness as spiritual / a cause. Victims are grossly discriminated against. My heart bleeds but I push in education of the community. Its really challenging.
