ahead, I am 16 years old & I’ve known that I’ve wanted to be a social worker ever since my freshman year I really love helping people and I think I would make a great social worker. Social workers only make $41,530 a year I know it’s not a lot but sometimes it’s really not about the money I want to do something I am going to enjoy with my life and I honestly think being a social worker is something I want to do with my life long term even if they get paid little.

As social worker practitioner the fields that interest me to work in is domestic violence and child abuse because I want to make change to the society.
