Social Work?

Are social workers in demand? I hear some places are begging for them, other places you cant buy a job.


I have an interest in becoming a social worker? Is it worth pursuing?

Social Work?
Honestly, the world is always in need of good social workers. Just be prepared, to earn a REAL living in social work you will need a minimum education of a Masters degree. Good luck in your choices!
Reply:As a social worker, I can tell you that it is an extremely rewarding profession. If you wish to make a higher salary get into hospital social work, nursing home, home health, rehab, or child protective services. Good luck! Report It

Reply:Yes, do it. My mom did social work for 20 years in the Welfare Department, and she saved so many people's lives by giving them food, clothing and shelter when they were in utter poverty. Social work is tough, but it is very rewarding.
Reply:It is, especially if you'd enjoy it. Network with others.


It's who you know, not what you know.
Reply:Research job demand, pay, and if that is what will make you happy go for it.
Reply:I have a friend that is a social worker and she does not get paid very well, I think around 26,000 annually, and that is not so good for having a bachelor's degree.





I think that there is some demand, and I would look on the Department of Labor website to see what the acutal demand is right now. If you like helping people, you might enjoy the career.


Best of luck!
