What things happened within your social work career that you didn't expect?
Forgive me for late response, I'm not quite sure if I'm correctly navigating the comment section. I'm not a social worker but I'm how ever fascinated and intrigued when it comes to doing the inner work, therapy etc. There is so much I would like to share with you but this may not be the ideal space and I don't want my comment to look like an essay, but thanks for the great work you are doing please continue.
As part of my role as an emergency room social worker i never really expected to be as varied as what is but as chaotic as is in Emergency Room i would never change it for the world
I didn't expect that some social work jobs require you to act as a guardian! It is so weird signing off on kids documents as their guardian and making all important decisions for them (state wards).
Probably that despite the low pay, our job is to do literally everything, wear every hat.
@@OnlyInThisLight I love it!!! 💖💙💘
I’m 14 and being a social worker is my dream it’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was little sometimes I find myself watching these and getting super excited
Same!!
me too 😫
SAME LMAO
check out the sociable social worker his quite good
also do a course such as hsc and smash work in college because grades really do matter when it comes to uni college etc
I’ve been a social worker for 12 years as well. What shocked me the most was that I became a social worker with a plan of working in child welfare. I literally avoided classes related to geriatric, medical, or hospice care (as much as I could) because I never anticipated going into those fields. I very quickly burned out in child welfare, specifically CPS, and fell into hospice while looking for a position in a different child welfare setting. Turns out I was made for hospice social work. I absolutely love my job and feel like I make a positive difference so much more often than I ever did in child welfare. I love that social work gives you the opportunity to work in so many different fields and I encourage new social workers or social work students to take advantage of the different classes offered when obtaining your BSW because you never know where you will find your specific niche. Love your thoughts on “making a difference.” I think that’s what we all hope for and I agree that, as a social worker, you have to take the little victories and know that sometimes you make a difference and never even know it. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this...I agree with you, it is only by exploring different areas of social worker that you can decide where you passion lies. Because we get a one-dimensional view of social work we sometimes pigeon hold ourselves when there are actually so many things we can do with our degree!
Hi! I wanted to know if you are a Gerontological Social Worker?!
@@nairobisfernandez640 I’m a hospice social worker.
I have a question. I’m in my late 40”s so going back to school at my age leaves me no room for wasting time. When deciding on an AAT degree I can not decide on Sociology or Social Justice. Which would be more pertinent to obtaining a bachelors in Social Work? Currently I see myself working with incarcerated women or women in domestic violence shelters but as you said, that could change.
@@jessicaaguirre1755 I honestly don’t know. I got my BSW at a 4 year university majoring in SW.
I grew up in the system as a foster child. I am now 23, with 3 babies of my own, obtaining my BSW and currently being trained and obtaining my Foster Parent license. This is my passion! This video helps get me even more excited!
I wanted to become a social worker because of my past and my situation
Go to therapy
hey i am a student thinking about having a career in social work and i just want to say thank you for this video !! it’s a great video and i’m thankful there are people like you to help !!
You are very welcome!
Hi Madison! We have Social Work careers open at Arkansas Children's Hospital! Email me if interested. cobbgd@archildrens.org
Same here I am close to my associates degree and I have decided to go for my next step as a social worker. I am still not exactly sure what area I belong though... is there a list of options in social work ?
the reason i want to become a social worker is to make a change in childrens lives. i believe that children are our future. I know the world can be scary but if we treat children with kindness and take care of them then maybe the world will start becoming a nicer place.
This video is so informarive...I am a civil engineer feeling called to get into social work. I am not a computer person, I am a people person. Thank you Manicka, this is exactly what I was looking for.
I feel you Phil. I'm working with the elderly now but feeling like I'm being called as well. Let's do this.
@@MadameWesker i hear that for sure
Phil I hope you made it!
I am an engineer planning on quitting and doing social work or counseling within a year
I stumbled on this video for the same reason, I feel called to do this. I am currently a client manager for a mutual fund company.
I'm so excited I will be graduating soon 5/5/21 BSW.
Same girl ✨ Congrats!
Congrats girly 💕
CONGRATULATIONS! You will make such a difference ❤ I'm just starting my education! So I'll be in the field in a couple years!
It’s almost that time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ congratulations 🎊🎉🎈🍾
Congratulations 🎊
I’m a year away from graduating with my BSW! I’m so excited!
I have a year and a half. Congrats & Good luck girly!
To Fu thank you!!! Goodluck to you as well ✨
Am going to college but I don’t know which program to take I want to be a social service worker
Congratulations!!!
I just changed my major to social work.
Ive been in the field for about 2 years now, you also have learn your boundaries. And make sure your agencies aren’t taking more from you then they should. We are people that want to help but if you drain yourself then who are w going to be able to help then.
This is very true and important, good note!
This ^^^ 🙌🏽….I’m scheduled to start an MSW program in September. I was going to drop my classes because I keep reading about all the long hours and large workload. Your comment has eased my anxiety a little lol….how exactly do set boundaries? Because from my understanding social workers are forced to work long hours.
Respect to all social workers🙌You guys do not get paid enough for your fantastic work. I am going into nursing and in some way it is similar to social working, we deal with people that have problems, physically or mentally.
yeah u will be all happy to work for that until u put up a case for an innocent family bruh. it sucks. good luck u would ruin someone’s life :)
@@hibeach6354 Bro atleast give hope to other people. Stay optimist not pessimist. No matter what job we work in there's always some big trouble in someway. So atleast being a blessing for other people in our everyday lives will heal our world nad humanity in many ways bro.
Bro what??
I loved the example you used about not being able to see the fruit from the seeds you planted. That was powerful and I gained an insight to that and it is refreshing to look at it from that POV.
Thank you for your kind words!🙂
Considering a degree in social work. I’m not sure yet but I’m starting school again in the fall. I’m a people person, kind, empathetic and I really want to help impoverished women and children. Though I’m not 100% sure what I want to do yet, I just HAD to subscribe. You are so knowledgeable and well spoken. I try to fill my subs with as many positive influences as possible, thank you for being apart of that for me. 🙏🏾✨
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words! I would definitely think long and hard about your interests and passion. You don't want to spend a lot of time in school being unsure. You may find that you waste a lot of time and money. If volunteering is an option for you, I would consider that to see what makes you feel most inspired, and what brings you joy
*Oh, so men aren’t impoverished? I didn’t know that being a social worker meant that you also had to be a sexist.*
@@earlaweese first of all, check your judgement and your name calling. This was posted 9 months ago so you dont know what changed for me between now and then, how I’ve grown in knowledge of social work, what I learned about social work as in who all it could help or if I’m going off the fact that women and children are the main demographics who I’ve known to use social workers to my knowledge.
I hope you heal and stop trying to pick arguments.
@@earlaweese people these days are soooo quick to name call and label without realizing everyone doesn’t know everything. People like you need to learn how to lend grace before being judgmental.
@@ebonybizzell9816 being a social worker should be for all people not a specific type, hope your mentality changes if this is the field you're planning to study in
as a social work student in Turkey, with pandemic i almost forgot what i dreamed for about my career. thanks a lot for speaking actually the inside of the field and giving advices about it. sometimes i get so easily lost and think that i know what i know but not only knowing we all should feel the things we think we know from the bottom of our hearts, at least for me. thanks!!!
What an incredibly honest video, thanks so much for sharing these invaluable insights from your experience. My Mom has been a social worker for a little over a decade now and has espoused the pros and cons of this profession. Liked and subscribed.
I really appreciate how comprehensive this video is. I specially appreciate that you cover dealing with red tape, which is something that can't just be ignored from the stand point of a social worker because addressing it is putting intentions into actions.
thanks so much for sharing this information. It’s helping me get prepared for the right kind of challenges.
I am currently a high school student looking forward to majoring in social work in college so thank you for these tips in advance I will come back in a few years and update you on my social work status.
Thanks for being real. I just began my journey to finishing my degree, and I am taking my first major class, Intro to Social work this semester. I went through a lot of trauma growing up and overcame, and I would like to help others do the same. I just graduated from Bible school, next to complete my masters in Social Work... I don't know how this career path will fit in to my life raising kids and supporting my husband's business, but I'm gonna continue pursuing my education while I figure that out, haha!
Good for you on staying persistent. I Wish you the best!
Wow. How do you manage raising kids and pursuing 2 courses. And bearing that social work is very demanding time wise. Kindly share for an aspiring mum
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am looking to work as a support worker, so this was amazing. When you said you created an audio to help de-stress and so on, that's when I decided to subscribe, because that shows so much generosity and empathy. ^^ Keep it up!
WOW! So well stated! Humble, yet matter of fact! Thank you, Manicka!
thank you!
Thank you for this video, I am a BSW intern working with unsheltered individuals and I often feel overwhelmed with the Red tape and politics along with feeling like I am not making a difference. Since the pandemic, I have seen so many new faces sleeping on the streets. Thank you for making me feel not alone in this area of the field.
I'm a French social worker . Was curious about a different country approach. Not disappointed, those are realistic and good advices .
Very informative, transparent and true video! All of what you said is true
Shoutout to all the social workers. I’m class of 2017 I currently work in a juvenile detention center and man the stress is extreme! I’m currently learning more entrepreneur skills to better my life. We are some of the most resourceful ppl we can create more for ourselves. I love us!
This was a pretty insightful video thank you! When I was younger I grew up in the system so I always had a dream of becoming a social worker but now I'm 33 and I'm a union laborer out of long beach but I feel so unhappy with my career. I want to pursue my dream so bad but I feel like it's so far away and I'll never fo what I originally wanted to do. To help the youth. The kids are out future and growing up in the group home and poster care I can relate to these kids.
Thank you for your perspective on being a Social worker
Manicka, I love your insight. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Very good, real-life info. Thanks!
Thank you for your presentation, it will help student and new social worker as well
Using my free time to watch your video. Thank you for this
it really resonated with me
Glad it was helpful!
i am in the process of changing my major from business to social worker. glad I found the video bc business school wasn't for me
Thank you for this video, I just turned 30 and I'm going back to school for my BSW.
Hi this is the best video for students like us. You have inspired me because I did not know what to do about my future but now I made up my mind. I will be a social worker. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your work! It’s helping me stay focused on my career!
So informative! Thank you for making this video!
Thank you for giving us so much helpful information. You are truly a blessing to the social work field. 🙏🙂😊
Thank you for your kind words!
This video has been so helpful! I've been looking into Social Work for a while now.
Glad it was helpful!
You are very well spoken! A lot of professionals that do TH-cam somehow, regardless of them being an expert in their field, seem to have a hard time explaining their day to day or the steps to success. You communicated thoroughly your thoughts and we appreciate your cohesiveness :)
I’m a former social worker for the State of Arizona. Everything she saids is spot on. I served in a rural setting, and on a Apache Reservation, so there were special challenges that went along with that setting. Overall, I had a good experience serving in that capacity.
Your very sharp and knowledgeable and experienced! I was confused between counseling or clinical social work but you have helped me know exactly what I want, thank you!
Thank you for making this video! It’s extremely informing. I was doubting my decision about entering this work but I feel a little more confident after finishing the video.
You are amazing. You teach so wisely and compassionately. Amazing!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you very much for that quote! I don’t have to accept it!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this honest & straight forward info on social work. It helped clarify some misconceptions & made me rethink getting a social work degree. You are a blessing to the field.
I'm glad! thank you!
Excellent video.
This Video was very informative, I def took notes! I've decided to go back to school for social work, and this made me excited and even more ready to began this new journey! Thanks for this vid! :) !
Straight to the point this is what I like in my research.🤗
thanks for your feedback!
really well put video !!! I'm entering an Advanced Standing program and this was great to becoming mentally prepared.
I'm glad! thank you!
Thank you so much for your insight. I’m currently working though strategies of my own emotional short-comings, one of them being too much of an empath. I have to learn better stress and anxiety management because I’m the type of person that literally channels peoples pain. I absorb energies so I have to be really mentally strong myself. Thank you again. Mental health care is and always has been paramount to have a healthy society!
Taking care of your mental health is so important! thank you for sharing and for your support!
You are a lovely presenter. Looking to follow this career in Spring 2021! (When I finally go back to school). Thank you so much!
Thank you! and best of luck to you!
This is such an awesome resource. Thank you!!!!❤❤❤
thank u so much for the informative video! im only in highschool thinking about my career choices and this was truly an amazing video
Amazing video. Thank you for going into detail. This job is very difficult and not for the faint of heart. You may have your heart in the right place but people do not realize that it will be a struggle. Pain is long term. It takes a lot to show people life can be good after they have experienced so much pain.
Thank you for this video. I am about to enroll in an online social work program and this video gave me a clear picture of what to expect when I graduate
thank you for this video! currently on my fourth year of university and plan to get my msw in forensics 💕

I've been vacillating in my choice of career for years now. I even decided to go to technical college for a few years until I figure it out, and this has always been my dream I was just to afraid to go for it. My father was a social worker before he retired, and he's told me a lot of what you have. I still feel like this is the job that I have to do and I really appreciate this video for helping consolidate my decision.
