4 Reasons to Become a Social Worker in 2019

9/26/2019

We’ve talked a lot about helping others, overcoming difficulties together, and showing compassion in every situation. Helping others is always a good thing. More importantly, it is always a rewarding thing. If you are thinking about doing more to help others, you are certainly not alone.
One of the things worth considering if you love helping others is pursuing a career as a social worker. The career path is not only rewarding emotionally, but also financially. Even better, there are plenty of reasons why becoming a social worker is a good decision to make in 2019.
You’re Good at It
If you love the way you can assist others in overcoming their challenges, you are already good at being a social worker. Skills such as empathy and active listening are the skills you already master, so transitioning to a role as a social worker will not be difficult.
Having the confidence to say that you are good at helping others with their problems is also a good thing. That confidence level is what will make you shine in your new role. Besides, the people you will be helping need to feel as confident about you to begin accepting help.
It’s Easy to Master
Other skills such as organization, note-taking, and persuasion are skills that can be mastered. There are a lot of courses and programs designed to make you an effective social worker. There are even bachelor’s and master’s degrees that you can pursue in this field.
Earning a master’s degree in social work is a lot easier now that there are MSW programs online from reputable universities. Top names like Florida State University are making their MSW programs available to more students from across the country.
The Demand is High
It is also worth noting that the demand for capable social workers is at its all-time high. More people need help than ever before, which means there is a growing need for capable social workers right now. When you consider the uncertainties and stress factors affecting the public right now, that increase in demand makes sense.
High demand for qualified social workers is not a trendy thing either. You can expect the demand for social workers to grow continuously over the coming years. If you do decide to pursue a master’s degree in this field, there will be a lot of opportunities to seize by the time you finish the course.
It’s Challenging
The last reason we are going to cover in this article is the challenges that comes with being a social worker. This isn’t the boring profession that people usually believe. As a social worker, you will be meeting new people, facing different challenges, and earning a lot of emotional rewards along the way. It is a career that will take your personal growth to a whole new level. Since you already love helping others, it is also a career that aligns with your passion perfectly.
With these four reasons in mind, making the decision to become a social worker is a lot easier to do.

I never knew that the demand for social workers is really high! Ever since high school, I have wanted to become a social worker, but I'm wanting to know if it would be easy to find a job if I did become one. I really appreciate you helping me understand more about the reasons why you should become a social worker.
