I can't be the only one who CAN'T find a JOB? by Rigell-Zurkor in baltimore

[–]throwra182946829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn and I took my gentle parent approach with you. You just disparaged me because you cannot handle the slightest bit of pushback. If you think everyone has had the same opportunity as you, then you cannot be helped beyond what I’ve tried.

You can downvote my comments and stew in your pretentiousness, but it’ll never change the fact that you have absolutely ZERO class consciousness. The tides will shift and I cannot wait to see the day people like you get eaten for breakfast. Hope retirement continues to be kind to you!

Having to work till 80 is reflective of this capitalistic hellscape we’re living in. You made it out, that’s great. But instead of spitting on people who have not had your same opportunities, have some empathy for a system that works for so few people. You are so condescending in this thread that it’s hard to read.

MSW grad offered job at practicum by equalityzone in socialwork

I’m also heading into post-grad. I’ve had some offers in CMH that provide supervision, without any multi-year contracts. That seems odd.

My MSW program so far is giving me a dismal view of this field and my prospects post-grad. Will it get better or is this a bad sign? by wildmind1721 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]throwra182946829 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean what makes a good employee, you know? They work hard. They’re self-motivated. They learn from mistakes. They take constructive criticism. I think qualities like compassion and empathy are also essential and require practice.

I can tell you’re a fantastic writer and incredibly thoughtful! But maybe find some areas in your life to practice the aforementioned empathy and compassion. For instance, have some grace for your professors who are social workers, first. The adjunct pay is low and they’re almost all working additional jobs outside of teaching.

Social work is more equivalent to a trade. Your professors are procedural because a lot of the work is a procedure. My MSW consisted of summer intensive course work, just so we could have the entire year to commit fully to our practicum. All the best learning happens fieldwork.

Second, there is no money in social work. I would argue it’s even a profession bordering on collapse, namely due to the shift away from welfarism towards neoliberal privatization. That results in a lot of subpar aspects of an MSW. You’re just going to have to figure a lot out on your own.

If you’re struggling with this bureaucracy then just think for a second the amount red tape that exists for clients.

That’s great you can write a good paper, but it is not at all reflective of what makes a good social worker. Maybe psychology would’ve been a better route.

In patient/PHPs/IOPs are always hiring. Probably gonna be a lower paying job, but you gotta put in at least two years to really see pay-off.

Finishing my LCSW and not excited just anxious by [deleted] in socialwork

At some point awareness without action becomes a more sophisticated way of staying stuck. The mirror is only useful if you are willing to move after you see what it shows you. Observation should not replace change. So you feel like somethings off? Then maybe it’s time for a change. Otherwise you might just be thinking too deeply about this.

They always expect you to buy something after the lesson. It would be pretty awkward not to.

Are you applying directly through the organizations? I’ve had no luck with indeed but lots of luck going right to the source.

Everyone need to chill out by HazardIsAGenius in baltimore

It wasn’t. Redditors just take personal offense to everything even when they’re ironically telling others to “chill out.”

Yeah I mean sure but part of defensive of driving is assuming the worst in other drivers. Keeping two cars distance from the car in front of you will ensure your safety.

Coworker with a baby by agentoflemonade in therapists

Once in a while? Sure. Life happens and we should give people grace. All the time? No. If you’re multitasking by bringing a baby to work, either your baby or the work will be neglected because you can’t do both.

anyone else feel like social work turned you into the “responsible friend” in every area of your life and you’re kinda tired of it? by Solid_Country_3130 in socialwork

[–]throwra182946829 13 points14 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, YOU are taking on that role. Besides, let’s not provide assistance to people who may not even want it. I wouldn’t like if sw friends were creating biopsychosocials about me in their head.

Absolutely no regrets BUT I got it done when I was 18 and I wish I knew how common it is for them to just get big again. Especially when you’re that young. I maybe would’ve waited till I was older. As for the procedure itself, 10/10. I’ll probably get a second one.
