Social work is my future profession

To begin with, I would like to say, that I always wanted to help people. There are so many problems in our society. Social workers can help to solve them. I have a strong desire to help improve people’s lives, because of this I chose this profession.
It is needed to say that social workers specialize in fields such as family, youth and child welfare services, medical and health services, disability services, psychiatric and general mental health services, juvenile and family law courts, aged care and disabilities, income support and mediation. So we need to get a lot of information about our future clients, how to deal with them, how to help people to live more successfully within their local communities by helping them find solutions to their problems. Also we have to practice a lot. I like studying at this university, because in first months of our studies we visited places where we could work and met people, so that we could imagine our future work.
Moreover, some social workers travel to visit clients or run group meetings. In country areas they may travel long distances. They may also be involved in private practice, research or teaching. I would like such kind of work conditions because it is also interesting for social worker.
In my opinion, do not all people could work as social workers. They need personal requirements, such as: emotional maturity, keen analytical abilities, able to view other people's problems objectively, good organizational skills, good communication skills and able to work as part of a team. I have to admit, that I have almost all these requirements and I think that I would be a good social worker!
