There is no doubt that careers in social work can be very rewarding, both
financially and psychologically. I seriously considered training in the industry myself before ending up in journalism.
Just think -you could be helping a lot of people, making real
changes and affecting the future in more ways than you can imagine.
A career in social work can be very fulfilling for a number of reasons. For starters you will also be taught to care about yourself. self-care is an important trait every social worker is trained to focus on as well as helping others.
More importantly this is a field where you can feel very positive about a life where you hopefully will enjoy every minute you spend working to help others.
