Aptitude test
Social worker
Why is a social worker the best suit for me ? Well I have been wanting to be a social worker
for a couple years now . I just really want to help out kids that are not safe at home help
them be in a safe place even being able to get them foster parents who will love them ! I
don't know why but im just very passionate about it i love helping others and i know that a
lot of kids feel alone or they are being mistreated. There are many benefits from being a
social worker for example everyday is something different never the same things and that
something that fits with me because i don't like doing the same things because it started to
get boring .The pay yearly is not bad and i think that it also suits me because i have always
wanted to help people and make the world a better place . This is a little off topic but i know
how a lot of kids get eclectic and other stuff that lead up to the kids having suicidal taughts
It seems like a job that would keep you on your feet . I also think that i would have access to
benefits and a salary which exceed the national average.Geographic location and funding are
the two primary drivers of wages for social workers. In the United States, social works
affiliated with schools earned an average wage of $62,000, while those working with family
or individual services earned a median salary of $42,000. They have one of the highest job
satisfaction ratings in the United States.When asked to evaluate how much they like their job
on a 5-star scale, most social workers give their position a 5-star rating.
Is college required to be a social worker ?
To meet the requirements prospective social workers must hold a bachelor's
degree .If interested in clinical roles must hold an MSW degree.
What is the difference between the above degrees
MSW stands for Masters of social work which is a graduate degree . Both
social work degrees allow an individual to become a practitioner in the field
of social work .
What major ?
Your would need to take courses in sociology ,science , math ,child
development , political science , social studies , and a fore language . You need
to complete a four year bachelor of social work of bachelors in psychology
.
Certifications required ?
They required some type of certification and licensing .You must take an exam
and pass along with other credentials.
Net and gross pay differences
