I’m trying to give someone advice on choosing a career that will suit them better than the one they’re in and hate. I wanted to get together a list of good questions for them to ask themselves so they can use the answers to compare options like “do you prefer to work sitting or moving around,” “do you want to not work weekends” etc.

    I have something against someone who has something against someone who says it’s a nightmare (aside from all the other things I’ve given to back myself up already, not to mention being anecdotal to complain I’m merely being anecdotal when I’m not), it’s called loads upon loads of distributed stories and footage by people from all across the nation. What it’s like to work in an organization doesn’t take away from the hardship of dealing with those who do that work, the latter is the very reason I turned down doing the work. It could use some reforming, no matter what positives can be made of it.

      No argument from me that many CPS departments have serious issues, but that’s CPS, not “social services,” which is a term that includes homeless service providers, hospital departments, mental health authorities, housing nonprofits, food banks, and so many more, and I can’t believe I’m still trying to communicate this to you since it’s clear you’re never going to get it.

      A CPS department is a social service, but 99.5% of social services are not CPS. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

            In no non-broad definition is police going to be on there. I already clarified myself, everything else is just trying to ignore that, so no.

              You claim there’s an “official sense of the word” and have never said what that is. Not sure where you think you clarified that

                I’ll put it this way, when your one and only business card says “social worker” on it, that’s how you know. No one who is into insurance is going to say “here, this is my one card, call me” and it has an extension of the local court’s phone number on it.

                  Hello, I’m a licensed clinical social worker, and you didn’t give a straight answer yet again. But by your vague description, I’m the one who should know lmao

                    You already said that, to no change in effect. It is easily a straight enough answer if you have a card, or do you?
