Social workers should create a platform where social workers from the entire world can meet and discuss the current scenario of their respective area and come with possible solution through discussion
If you are young like jasmine..WOW...Social work...thats a lot of mental work..if she was older she would have a different opinion because she would have life experience ...but Im new her channel....now she's living Ghana..its for the best
Honestly social workers I know are making very good money. The one I have at school actually makes over $75,000. It totally depends where you are going to and how much experience you’ve had. Everyone has got to start somewhere. I am still in high-school and I’m very interested in social work.
Social Work is extremely different in the UK compared to the USA. I always tell people that they need to have excellent writing skills and be able to produce assessments that are analytical. In the UK once you qualify, you can work in every area of Social Work but always advise students to make sure they get experience in child protection. Strongly advise you not to go into this career if you are not able to take stress and need to understand that social work is providing the legal responsibilities of local authorities. Government set up welfare laws and have to provide the resources to meet the various legislation that was passed by law. Glad to say that I am a proud Social Worker for 25 years.
I graduated with an undergraduate and communications media, ended up working in a few different nonprofits with people with autism and a sexual violence resource center as a community educator. I ended up picking at school for my masters that has a Masters of public affairs and sociology degree, but not having doubts about doing a Masters of social work because of the versatility provides you. The director of the center where I worked at Khilynn courage me to do so, but I chose to come to the school that was a lot lower cost and provided me a full assistant ship. However what I'm trying to say is that I think social work is still a very good option, yes the majority of jobs are probably going to pay entry level wages but there's opportunities to find higher pay. But what I'm coming to the realization is how I am built . We all have different gifts and there's a lot of us that our gift is helping people and Connecting with others, I really can't see myself doing and everything for a job. I'm not cut out to work in bureaucracy, I couldn't see myself being an English teacher, I can only see myself trying to help people
I have my associates in social work and it is really frustrating when you are trying to help an individual to become a better person and at the end of the day they stay in the same place where you found them. You can't help people unless they want to help themselves. The classes for bsw or master are ridiculously expensive plus, what you are going to get pay is much less than the average pay for bsw that is less than or around 25k to 30k per year. You must work in as a privated clinical sw, hospital, school system, or dcf to really see some money. I love to help people but the loans are not helping me. Make sure that this is what you want to do because it will drain you mentally if you don't know how to separate work from your personal life. Btw this video is very helpful 💗👍
I just graduated high school and am going into college as a social work major and this video has helped me a ton, and solidified my decision in studying it! I can't wait to get started!:-)
I wanna be a social worker but I feel like I will always be in debt. I want to go to a university that offers that major but I've noticed that the pay is not the best and that's what I'm worried about. I know that I shouldn't worry about the money and it's about helping people but I want to eventually start a family and I want to give them a good life and I'm still not sure that my pay will be enough to provide that life that I want them to have.( and I don't mean to spoil them and give them the best of the best, but to have a good lifestyle..... if that made sense)
harry styles Hi Harry thats a totally valid concern. Definitely do as much research as u can about how much a social worker makes and the different positions u can get into even including working for yourself before getting into it. Pay is definitely not the best x
I guess for the power hungry, egotistical and those who get something from destroying the lives of others. For such, social work is the right way forward.
So social work also entails research. I'm looking for a degree that entails research and entails helping others. I'm also a huge fan of philosophy, which is conjusive to sociology. Social work sounds awesome, I hope to transfer :D
If you have a Masters degree... If you move into administration... If you have your own practice... If you work in the business office... If you are not a direct care worker (grunt) with a caseload of 75 to 100 clients!! If... If... If..................
i am a third year social work honors student. The career is beautiful though too demanding,but i love social work and there is no course that is as valuable as social work.
Gald you find destroying lives beautiful, you did a wonderful job with Hayley Gascoigne, that must have been one of the greatest achievements for social workers? Driving a young mother to her death, through stress and distress social workers caused her. As for others, I have seen them mocked, when they have broken down and wept in the public area of the courtroom. What I have witnessed in the last two years, has been distressing and alarming. I don't know what type people you are, but one thing is for certain, social workers, have no compassion and no humanity. In fact they are nothing more mindless, vicious, vindictive emotional thugs.
I’m a bit stuck in my careers and what I want to choose. Nothing really stuck with me except social work. It’s so interesting to me and learning more about people and being about to change their life for the better.
I'm a psychology major and plan on getting my masters in social work. But where do I find an internship or some way to gain experience while getting a bachelors in psychology?
Hi community centres, hospitals, ngo etc sometimes accept people for work experience so ud just have to shop around. I was required to do 1000 hrs as part of my degree but the uni organised that.. Im unsure of what that looks like if you are doing your masters.
+JJasmineSW ok thankyou I'll conduct some more research. Did you work while in grad school? I want to minor in something just to make myself more marketable for jobs while in grad school. What would you recommend? It's between sociology or business right now.
I am final year social work ,and before I graduated medical biochemistry , studying social work no need hard study like others ,but needs to read mor ,and a lot of field work
Hi, thanks so much for uploading these videos about going into social work. I plan on being one in the future so this really helps :) Also, you mentioned in a previous video that I watched that it's good to have some work experience involving social services while in school to prepare for the "real job" lol. Were you refering to volunteering and/or part time work. I would be interested in both so if there are any type of positions that you were in or that you know of it'd be great if oucan share that experience in a reply or another video! Anyway, thanks so much for uploading these videos!
Hello Lily, im glad my videos are helpful. I worked as a youth support worker whilst in uni... Volunteering in a similar role will also look good on your resume. Any job where u are doing direct work with people will look good on ur resume, I hope this gives clarity xo
Hi Jasmine, what books would you recommend me if I'd like to read more about social work? I am considering taking up master of social work at the University of Queensland. Thanks in advance! :)
So sorry to hear that Yu. This is something that happens to a lot of people where their parents force them into certain careers for various reasons. I hope u get to do what makes u happy eventually xo
I want to get into social work right after college but my advisors at school told me not to do it because most universities prefer older students is this true?
Hi Tanaka, This has definitely not been my experience. I got into uni at 19 and completed at 23 as its a 4year course hear in Australia. Ive been practicing for 3 years now. Age has been irrelevant in my experience. I hope this help xo
Did you study in Australia? If so, how did you cope with the racism on placements? I studied nursing here and, oh boy, the racism was bad. On a placement at Royal North Shore Hospital the team leader refused to allocate patients to me. It was worse on a Psych placement at a school in Ryde. The Rn who worked in the classroom ignored me the entire week or two that I was there.
Rooi Kappie oh wow sorry to hear that, luckily I did not experience this on placement. U need to speak to someone about this perhaps ur placement manager xx
I'm interested in studying social work once i graduate high school this year, I live in Melbourne and was wondering which uni you would best recommend. :)
Im looking into studying a masters of social work in Melbourne. Im currently applying for Monash and RMIT as they both have excellent student sucess rates and i was interested in the corsework. I recommend looking at each universities corsework overview and decide if your interested in what they provide. Even try ringing them and asking questions. Best of luck.
@@abigailalecsa5472 A Bachelore of Criminology and Criminal justice. Some Uni's will take you for their Masters even if your Bachelors are from different fields, if you forfill prerequisites.......for me i already have completed a number of sociology based courses.
Social work is the worst decision I ever made, I am 5 months away from finishing my masters degree and cannot wait to wave goodbye to this god awful career. Tip to anyone wondering if they should go into this field- DON’T unless you want to live an unhappy, unfulfilled, miserable life
So sad to hear...what would you suggest instead as an option for a carrer in helping peoole? I'm sadly not good enough to get into Clinical Psychology yet the only other option left is Clinical Social Work...
Not really helpful to anyone since you don't mention WHY you found it such a waste of time... Just demotivating. Stop fear-mongering people without at the very least giving some detail over why you feel that way
There r some uni’s that r not accredited by AASW.... what happens in that case?? M not sure whether that’s the case with Victoria Uni and that I should accept the offer as there r speculations of some of its courses not being accredited

I found you when I was deciding between changing my major to Psychology or social work. I never even knew that there was a major called Social Work lol. I ended up changing my major to Psychology because it would have taken a lot longer to finish the social work degree (since I was already 2-3 years in my college years), even though I really wanted to o towards that path. My plan is to get a master's in social work and practice Clinical Social Work....that's the plan at least. I'm grateful for your videos. Unfortunately my trouble is that i'm spending most of my times either in school and working the rest of the time so I feel like i'm not gaining any real life experience into the field so any ideas or help you might give me would be helpful.
Aww in so glad I can help. If it's possible for u to do your paid work in a field related to social work that will help. Looks good on your resume too :-) x
+Multilovinglove I started college in 2005 as a Psy Major and didn't realize social work was a whole other field either. I changed my major to social work shortly after. The career options with a social work degree are much broader. Best of luck

+Multilovinglove I current work outpatient children and family mental health services. And no, the pay is not great. You have to have a masters to make anything above 40
I would've been more PC if it weren't for the periodic nightmares of angry clients, power tripping supervisors, reports and paperwork At Home, unnecessary meetings and training, and of course no $$!!! 😨 Time for my Haldol shot!! 💉
DON'T DO IT!!! I've been in the field for 19 years. It drains the life out of you, pay is not great, it can be violent, and it's completely thankless. True is you can "pretend" you're changing lives, but no matter what you do, adults will continue to do whatever they want. It's not what you think it is when going to school. Please don't..you will regret it
TheSewingRoom ! It’s by no means an easy job. But please don’t detract others from pursuing something they are passionate about. The world needs more social workers who are willing to go into the darkest places and pick up the pieces. That’s what we do.

Social Work is extremely different in the UK compared to the USA.
I always tell people that they need to have excellent writing skills and be able to produce assessments that are analytical. In the UK once you qualify, you can work in every area of Social Work but always advise students to make sure they get experience in child protection. Strongly advise you not to go into this career if you are not able to take stress and need to understand that social work is providing the legal responsibilities of local authorities. Government set up welfare laws and have to provide the resources to meet the various legislation that was passed by law.
