I am a social worker and I feel that there is a lot of negativity towards the social work profession. When I tell someone that I am a social worker or what agency I work for, the most typical response I get it ‘oh you poor thing’ or ‘you must not make much money’. I would not have chosen this career if I didn’t love it, and because I love it, I don’t focus on the money aspect of it. I think that people need to realize what social workers really do…and no we don’t all take children away from their parents. Our interests and skills are varied and are cross-diciplanary. I think that in your job search and in your resume, you should write about your skills that you have developed and how they can be used in the new field you are interested in.
