Do Social Workers Really Help Families in Distress?
Some people go into social work because they care about others and want to make a difference in the lives of people who need them. Others go into social work because sometimes, there is power involved and they like to lord over others. I do think that many people choose that career for the right reasons. I don't think, in most cases, that it's a very high paying career and that might be a good thing, (sorry for saying that, social workers...let my explain).


If someone goes into that field, knowing that they could get a degree in something else and make more money, then it might be a hint that their motives are pure. If there were a great deal of money involved, howerer, you could assume that there are going to be those who choose this line of work FOR THE MONEY and they don't really care for the people who's lives they are dealing with. Kind of like teachers.
Reply:Everyone only works for money. Basically it is still just a job.
