Really want to be a Social Worker but everyone here seems so unhappy.
On mobile, so sorry for any errors and formatting! When I was younger my home life was not good at all, and I spent tons of time with Social Workers. Now that I’m older, I want to be one and be that kind of person I needed when I was younger. I’m looking into colleges and thought I’d see if there was a subreddit for Social Work and there was! Unfortunately a lot of the posts are negative here. Is the job worth it though? Is it really that bad? I’m not trying to sound rude or anything, just genuinely curious. I’m starting to doubt I’ll make it or not be tough enough to do it. What’re your experiences in Social Work? If I have the passion to do it, will I love my career?
