Social work is not for everyone. Social work ranges between helping the financially troubled elderly locally, helping troubled youths, going to third world countries to teach those in poverty how to make straw bags/hats so that they might be able to make a living for themselves, etc. All these examples take a very dedicated group of people to spend their time on and unless one is truely passionate about making a difference in the lives of others, one is doomed to find this road lacking. Considering the typical social worker gets a lower than normal pay as funding is usually from donations and the harsh conditions of some of the places whereby one has to venture, I feel that this road would probably not be to my style.
However, for those who strongly feel that whales deserve saving, forests deserve protecting, the poor should have an avenue to prosper and be removed from the poverty cycle, etc, then this career is truely for you. And I truely will congratulate you should you feel that your passion lies on this path as how many people can really find what they truely believe in and are willing to work happily for?
Analysis
Pros:
Truely a fulfilling career should one feel the calling for it.
Accumulate good karma.
See the true sights of the world. (The forgotten areas of the world that needs help.)
Cons:
Low pay, low increment.
The true sights of the world might be too stressful to take in. Considering the luxury which we all see around us as compared to the poverty some people live in.
Hygiene. Depending on where the social work brings you.
