Hi Alexa,
Social work can be rewarding and stable, but it varies based on your specialty and workplace. Some positions pay more, especially with a Master's degree, in hospitals, government agencies, or private organizations. It's also fulfilling to help people, which matters as much as the salary.
For internships, choose ones that align with your interests. If you're passionate about children with special needs, consider interning at schools, disability advocacy groups, or family services agencies. If you're drawn to law and social work, seek internships at legal aid offices, court programs, child welfare agencies, or nonprofits focused on rights and advocacy. These experiences will help you understand both legal and social work systems.
If you want to combine law and social work, consider roles like legal advocate, forensic social worker, or work in child protective services. You might even attend law school later. There are many paths, and the right internships can help you discover what you enjoy most.
