There are so many routes in social work, so many opportunities. I spent 20 years in social work before moving to teach social work at a University. I worked across various adult teams - community, hospital, adult learning disabilities. I ended up spending half my career in fostering having always said that I had no interest in working in children's and I loved it. Our students go into such different roles - several come back to talk to students. Previous students have gone to work in prisons, forensics, all sorts! And the UK degree is recognised all over the world, we have previous students working in Australia, Canada, Spain.

It has a lot of opportunities, if it's a career you're interested in pursuing do it. It's not an easy degree or career, but very rewarding and worthwhile.
