Why Study Social Work?| College Majors | College Degrees | Study Hall

I’ll save you the time. Don’t do it. The field is massively underpaid and you’re going to quit within 5 years. Lots of toxic work environments in this field

Dropped out of nursing school and considering this as my next move. Thanks for the video.

would it be good to major in sociology and minor in social work or the other way around? initially my goal was to major in journalism and minor in sociology but i’ve changed my mind since i am much more interested with sociology and social work. i just know for sure i don’t want to keep working minimum wage jobs and i want my future career to be helping people but not in a marketing, counseling, or public service setting. i would be going to community college btw, WAYYY to broke to afford university lmaooo

Senior year BSW here ❤️❤️❤️

Informative. thank you!

Something worth noting for those going into the bachelor's in social work is be sure that it accredited by the Council for Social Work Education (CSWE) as this will allow you, assuming that you maintain good grades, the opportunity to do a shorter master's program also accredited by CSWE, known as "advanced standing."

Is anthropology also apart of social work? I see that sociology is there.

Never thought social work was fun , I always thought they were done by lower class after all we have politics😮

I have major burnout from being a social worker. It was pretty hard on my mental health and I never made a livable wage. I urge people to volunteer rather than go into debt in college to help others.

Please, men, if you want this, come here! It is so lonely! I need some bros! Too much estrogen! Send help!

The most things that matters are patience and good heart. You can learn everything else, but you need the patience to wait long enough for the right thing to happen.

It's not for everyone. It isn't for most people. You're going to see the worst parts of humanity, but for that, I respect you. All of your coworkers will be female forever.

When i was in college i took two classes as soon as i got in, intro to social work, and intro to computer science. It became quickly apparent to me in the social work class that i wasnt going to be able to look at situations that i had no recourse to solve, and leave them be with my mental health in tact. There's no shame in realizing that as much as your heart is in the right place, it may just not be suited to the practical reality of being on the ground in the fight. This definitely would have helped me realize that if i wasnt able to take both classes at once when i was starting out!

I am in my Master’s of Social Work program right now!

Hi! Due to its increasing popularity, I believe a Fast Guide on Animal Science/Veterinary Science would be extremely helpful. Many students seem to be misinformed or misguided with how rigorous and STEM-heavy the degree plan is, then drop because they don't care for science. Thanks! ☺️

I’m a social worker at the macro level. I have my BSW and MSW and do strategy at an LGBTQ+ advocacy org!! Love this.

As a clinical social worker I appreciate this video!

Last year MSW student here! Thanks for the love! It’s such a great and diverse field. I also REALLY needed to hear that this field can be difficult. My boyfriend just graduated from law school and I’m finding it so hard not to compare our experiences. Law school is cut throat and I often think “man I have it easy” because all the professors are so understanding and empathetic.. because they’re social workers. I’ve been feeling like a fraud in moments of struggle when in reality it IS a difficult field in a very different way from law. I needed that validation today.

Just submitted my last assignment for my masters of social work :)
Best career choice :)

What’s the difference between social work n human services

I just got accepted into my university’s social work program and I loved how this video concisely laid out what this major is like!

Will there be a chemistry fast guide? 💞

I love this Fast Guides series, every single episode is crafted with so much thought and care! Curious if you'll launch a later spin-off called Long Roads, on career paths after graduation from specific major categories—engineering, science, humanities/social science BA, etc. This could cover the interesting question of working in the social sector without majoring in social work—there are many liberal arts and STEM folks who go on to work in public service, nonprofits, education, etc.

Great video!

Hank very good as usual...former MSW student

Gotta show social workers love ❤️

These are really helpful even tho I'm not American I would really love to you guys cover linguistics next

If you take suggestions for this guide, I would recommend radiologic technologist. It is a tough yet rewarding career and the need for technologist is high.

As a social work student, I appreciate this!! Very excited for my internship in the fall!

First?
