Social Work Jobs

A social work job involves maintaining professional relationships with service users, acting as guides, advocates or critical friends. A social worker assist people by helping them cope with issues in their everyday lives, deal with relationships, and solve personal and family problems. Some social workers help clients who face a disability or a life-threatening disease or a social problem, such as inadequate housing, unemployment, or substance abuse. A social worker may conduct research, advocate for improved services, engage in systems design or are involved in planning or policy development. A social worker may also provide support to enable service users to help themselves, maintain professional relationships with service users, acting as guides, advocates or critical friends. A social worker includes administrators, planners and policymakers, who develop and implement programs to address issues such as child abuse, homelessness, substance abuse, poverty, and violence. A social worker may also research and analyze policies, programs, and regulations, identify social problems and suggest legislative and other solutions, help raise funds or write grants to support these programs.

A social worker job requires a bachelor’s degree in social work (BSW); however, majors in psychology, sociology, and related fields may qualify for some entry-level jobs, especially in small community agencies. A social worker must be able to handle responsibility, work independently, and maintain good working relationships with clients and coworkers and should have excellent communication and computer skills. A social worker should be emotionally mature, objective, and sensitive to people and their problems.

Do What You Want to Do, Not What You Think You Should Do
I know two men who worked in New York City, each of whom made millions of dollars and immediately quit their jobs, taking up completely different careers as gas station owners in New Jersey. I learned about one of these men when I was in college, and I heard about the other man several years later, when I was a recruiter. For the past several years, I have puzzled over the stories of these t...
