    Hmmm. Interesting question. I would never have thought of social workers as being dowdy any moreso than anyone else, and don’t attribute it to any profession. I would think that most people don’t really realize when they have come into contact with a social worker. The connotation is that they are all beleagured, overworked, underpaid government workers steeped in bureaucracy and protocols per TV and movies. The truth is social workers exist in some fashion in about all fields. There are the social workers who work with the school system, designing programs to help children learn. In the business world, EAP counselors assist workers with all sorts of issues. There is even a bit of social work in practically every facet of our everyday lives. Aren’t some of the the most prevailing assets and talents of a social worker empathy and reaching out to people, providing insight? I could see a social worker in almost any field; they would be very useful in, say, human resources, matching the ‘right’ skill set and ’emotional’ skills with the ‘right’ job. Or in marketing, banking, medical etc.
