Forensic Social work

What did I find exciting?

- The different perspectives of what people in this field of work thought about. I read things from "amazingly thrilling" to "I walked out on my client in the first week"

- All the different jobs you can have with bachelors and/or masters.

- I read a lot about how this type of social work really matters, no matter what stage you're at (bachelors, masters, doctorate), you are making a difference.

Pros and Cons

Definition

PROS:

- Lots of branches, both private and public.

- You can do a lot of meaningful things with just a bachelors.

- Great for "thrill seeking" people.

- You are usually always helping.

- You tend to feel satisfied a lot.

CONS:

- You may have to be on call for up to 18 hours, depending on your job title.

- You don't get paid as much as you feel you should

- It comes with lots of stress and frustration.

- This is a big job, therefore you cannot "bring your job home with you", which is a very tough thing not to do.

The application of social work has questions and issues relating to law and legal systems.

Clinics and psychiatric hospitals for criminal defendants being evaluated and treated on issues of competency and responsibility, but goes far beyond this.
