Aspiring Bog Witch

Not just a regular slut, but a slutty slut.

It varies wildly by what you want to do because you can do a ton of stuff with a social work degree. You can do hospital stuff, child protective services, therapy, school social work, legislative stuff, community education, library social work, etc etc.. It can be depressing and draining as well, 95% of the time you’re meeting clients at their worst. A majority of the time you’re providing resources, education, crisis intervention, some CBT, giving some basic problem solving skills to help them move forward on their own. Sometimes, because of how systems are set up you’re just moving people and you’re not making connections and you don’t feel like you’re doing social work. We’re often overworked and underpaid, but there are these moments when you truly make a difference in someone’s life and they take what you’ve given them and actually use it to move forward and out of their problems that make it worth it.
