I am about to complete my last paper in my first semester in my MSW program. I'm so excited about my future on this path! ❤❤
It takes courage to be a Social worker, creativity and empathy. I'm happy to be one x
I’m studying social work in school now
And I love my course
From Nigeria
I am studying a diploma in community services and I just finished my first term. This short time learning I have come to realise that this is my calling and that everyone should be learning what Im starting to learn. We need to overhaul the education system and implement these subjects within the curriculum.
NOT ALL SOCIAL WORKERS ARE KIND SOME SOCIAL WORKERS WORK WITH SCHOOL TO DIG PARENTS IN A WHOLE , AND IN REALITY THEY SHOULD BE ON THE SIDE OF THE PARENT TRYING TO HELP THEM AS MUCH TO BE BETTER THEY SHOULD BE CALL FILY SUPPORTERS NOT SOCIAL WORKERS THE GOAL IS TO HELP CHANGE MENTALITY FOR BETTER KIDS LIFE
Our school social worker is totally on the contrary ….as if it isn't enough that i have a kid with a chronic illness , i had the pricipals bullying me , pressuring me and the social worker just NOT defending me , the psychologist who was responsible was absent , they just attacked me without any hasitation and afterwards the sw just continued "throwing " small phrases that were implying that i am lower level person ….please help ….Greece where the country is sinking into corruption deep dive …..
Ive been a psychiatric technician for 10 years, i recently decided to get my MSW and I feel so happy and proud! ❤

Thank you for that, for a long time I’ve trying to decide what to study and now I know, I want to be a social worker
The problem with social work is, it's ruined by feminism and anti white rhetoric
I am qualified as a social worker since 2017 in my country
. Here in the UK nobody gaves me to chance to practice. I love sw but how to get hired😢….
Proud you say ? Your proud to be a child snatcher ? Most social workers lie fabricate and collude to remove kids from their families so they can make money, all social workers do is lie then pretend they doing what’s best for the child. If you lot are honest which your not you will move a child on hear say and put a child with strangers what trauma that poor child goes through . The kids that need social services don’t get help they’re left to die at the hands of their unfit parents.
I would not encourage anyone to pursue a career in Social Work. A complete waste of time and energy.
Funny how all these comments are from social workers self praising themselves and the “profession”. How about you ask the hundreds of thousands of abuse victims who they take no action on or the thousands of corrupt social workers out there falsifying there reports to put children into adoption working in cahoots with corrupt family court judges and lawyers who serve the larger agenda of breaking families up. That’s the majority. The tiny minority are in it for childrens rights and when they encounter this pressure, they usually quit. Social workers have far too much power, they literally can say what ever they want, unaccountable and not able to sue them for defamation for comments said in court. That’s the real reason so many quit and it’s left to tough foreigners to do their job (here in the UK usually ruthless Africans and Caribbean’s shamelessly inflicting pain on their own community and seeking petty childish vengeance for people they simply don’t like) they’re underpaid for a reason – to make them angry and vindictive
It is disheartening to witness the social welfare landscape tilting increasingly towards an exclusively progressive and liberal orientation. The trend seems to stifle alternative perspectives, subjecting them to resistance and criticism. Instead of categorizing opposing viewpoints as inherently flawed and resorting to incessant identity politics, it might be more productive to acknowledge the nuances of the economic divide, notably the dichotomy between the impoverished and affluent.
While acknowledging that adverse circumstances often contribute significantly to financial struggles, it is essential to recognize that individual choices can also play a role in one's economic situation. Advocating for a balanced perspective, it's worth considering that embracing certain aspects of capitalism might contribute to securing the future of social security. Responsible capitalism, when regulated effectively, has the potential to generate the resources necessary for sustaining social welfare programs.
Moreover, it raises valid concerns when individuals who are not citizens avail themselves of the social services provided by the United States. Ensuring that social services are primarily directed towards citizens is a reasonable stance to uphold the integrity of the system. It's imperative to prioritize the well-being of citizens, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and mutual support within the nation.
Isnt this normal charity?
Seems like you dont need an institution to make a change.
They better start compensating us as superheros
I thought the real heroes were the real heroes.

Dünyaya yine gelsem yine sosyal hizmet uzmanı olurdum.
I am social worker from Greece. The responsibilities are bigger than income which they take every month
Everyone has a talent, not a superpower, superheroes don't die, get burnt out, or get tired. Social workers do
I'm social worker ❤
