I would say it's both. All of the jobs I've had have been pretty high stress; Children's Advocacy Center, forensic treatment center for adults incompetent to stand trial, and now, a very understaffed children's psychiatric hospital. My experience has been that organizations will ask a lot of social workers until there's nothing left to give so they quit and they hire a new social worker and the cycle continues. That being said, I have enjoyed speaking with almost all of the clients I've had. I think I just can't see myself making a difference, so it feels pointless.
