Finances

It's funny getting  up one day and saying "I'm going to be a social worker" seems funny, really funny; yes jokes on us. My professor Doug Harris made a very interesting point in intro to social work a class I took in Yuba college. He said "what can you do with a Masters in social work?" He then answered most likely get a job as the greeter at Walmart. Do we really get in this field to get rich. Is it a social worker that resides at the top of the Fortune 500? In music videos or glamorous movies is it the social worker that pulls up in a Lamborghini and and then they receive all the lamentations of men or women that scurry around their feet. Why did we get social work? Is it because we wanted to make a change? Is it because we wanted to make a change within ourselves? Or how we overcame so much in our own lives and changed so much within our own lives that we want to share this gift with our fellow human beings? Either way we're taking on a great task and either way the riches that we receive come in the form of the social wealth that we create for our clients.
