Understanding Social Work

“I believe there is no one principle which predominates in human nature so much in every stage of life, from the cradle to the grave, in males and females, old and young, black and white, rich and poor, high and low, as this passion for superiority” (Qtd. in Moffat 150). This is referring to the fact that no one should be harmed or abused no matter what his or her race, age, or socioeconomic status. Everyone should be treated equally. If it happens to anyone, they should be punished. People are getting abused everyday and we will always need social workers to help solve and handle these situations. Social workers should be highly skilled, more appreciated by society and better paid because of the risks of their jobs and the impact their job has on them personally.

To become a social worker, you have to go to school for four or more years. Me, personally want to go to Johnson C. Smith University because they major in Social Services. I want to get top quality education, Social Workers need a Bachelor’s in Social Worker (BSW) to practice. Also Social Workers have to have an academic background in psychology, counseling or related fields may also be suitable. A Child Social Worker makes a salary of 40,680 a year and 19.56 an hour. There are 26 different types of fields in the Social Worker career. People have good intentions often work in Social Services organizations. Most people who contribute to this job have a good feeling about their jobs because this job contribute to fulfilling the Altruistic purpose of the organization. I want to be in the field of Child Social Worker helping out the children that feel harm, no love, unsafe and insecure. Every child should feel loved, safe, secure, and nurture.
