I'm thinking of doing social work after I finish my degree. Is anyone a social worker? If so, could you give me an honest opinion of the job?

OOOOOO, (sharp intake of breath) May your God go with you. What about criminal psychology?
I'm not a Social Worker, but liaise with them quite a lot in some degree. In my opinion, it'll be challenging for you that's for sure, but no doubt rewarding at times. Think you would find yourself taking a lot of work home with you, mentally and physically depending on what role you take on. I think you need to ask yourself how unselfish am I and do I want to really help? before you dive in. Good Luck!

hawkes - why the sharpe intake of breath - explain yourself!


Prerequisites for the job are;


A girly car. Renault Clio will do.


A copy of the Gaurdian. Tucked under your arm everyday.


A pair of dangly earrings.


Lastly but the most important,you must learn this phrase,as you will have to repeat it many times.


"Lessons have been learned from this case".

Hi Im in my second year of the social work degree and am currently on my second placement. I really enjoy social work because it deals with all different aspects such as law, psychology, sociology, teaching etc.and you deal with all different types of people. From what i have learned so far, you gain little respect from other people, you are pushed and given a lot of responsibility and it is very challenging and can be dangerous! but it is rewarding, different and you get to make a difference in peoples lives. I know I'm biased as I wouldn't be doing the degree if I didn't want to do the job but I reccomend it as long as you think you will be commited to the job.
