Is this the field for you?

If you can see yourself doing any of the following things, you may want to consider being a social work major:

• Providing support to troubled teenagers
• Developing programs in inner-city churches
• Helping abused and neglected children and their families
• Planning patient discharges
• Helping senior citizens obtain medical assistance
• Providing food and shelter for the homeless
• Advising teachers in a school system
• Teaching resettlement skills to refugees

These represent just a glimpse of social work-the dynamic "helping profession" of this decade.
