Is Social Work a Good Major??

I want to help people... I love helping people. However, with a major in social work and doing that full time, will I have enough of an income to pay off my college debt? Or would it be better to major in something else and then volunteer to help people? I would love to help people full time,...

I want to major in emphasis of soical work. What things do i need to know before going into this field of study?

The reason why I'm asking about this is because I want to know from others people experience in being a social worker, what to expect and what not to expect. Mostly get more advice.

Should I talk about my failures when being interviewed for a job?

I read an article about how a recruiter who interviews students got an answer of "I expect failure" from one of the students. Then they went and wrote an article on how this answer was amazing. Should I do the same and state some failures like struggles in class or should I keep that to myself....

With a sociology degree, can you become a social worker?

The college I applied to did not have social work for bachelor's degree and so I decided to take sociology. However, many people are saying it does not connect to social work. Is that true? #career #science #degree #social-work #work #sociology

when going for a msw is it better to get a clinical social work or a family and children focus if I want to have a group home. Considering some children may need to be diagnosed before entering the group home.

I was told that if I wanted to own a group home I would need to have experience working and dealing with children but someone recommended the clinical social work degree saying that it would include knowledge of childhood development and would give me more reach as a social worker. #social-work
