Is anyone a social worker or knows someone who is? I'm considering becoming one but I really would like to talk to a person in the field and get their first hand experience. Thanks!

It is a hard job I had a cousin who was a social worker but quit because it was to hard on her. You have to beable to deal with the parents and the children who can be sad, angry, confused. When you do into the home you are always companied by a police officer incase things get out of hand. You have to have the heart to take children out of the home where they are being endangered and be able to talk to the children. There are also counslers for adult and children at counsling centers or schools. Social Worker for the elder etc. I strongly suggest psychology.. there is a list of classes you should take.. Just google classes i should take to become a social worker. good luck [ Sweet_LiL_Angel's advice column | Ask Sweet_LiL_Angel A Question ]
