What do you want to know?

Motivated by some comments/questions on here and on Twitter, I think it would be interesting to do some question & answers about being a new social worker.

So shoot. Do you have anything you want to ask this newbie?

And don't you all overload me at once ;)

Until our next visit, New BSW

  2. Great discussion topic!! For me, since I've been working in the field for awhile, I think I need to learn to not always be so negative, or set myself up to think something negative is gonna happen ;)

  4. First of all, I love reading your blog. Plese keep writing! A question I have is how do you deal with older, more experienced workers who put you down? I'm in my 4th month of being a social worker and I deal with so much crap from seasoned workers daily! They chuckle at things I say like it's so cute and will give each other looks before they answer my question.

  9. Hi!
    I discovered your blogs while I was researching "The Truth About Being A Social Worker". It is nice to see someone being real about such a difficult occupation. I am about to start on my bachelors for Social Work. I have researched the pros and the cons of this degree; The cons, at this time, seem to be outweighing the pros. I hear that it is rewarding when you are able to help someone, but there is a price to pay; the price is you becoming a hollow shell of a human being. Something else is that you don't receive near enough compensation for the work you undertake. All of this is causing me to question my path in life. I had planned on joining the Peace-corps after I received my Bachelor's, but I feel very lost right now. Could you possibly have some advice to give me? No pressure. :-)

    Blessed be!
