Ever get tired of taking care of other people?

Social work sucks.

I have to do stuff (mathematical) for other people. That can suck, especially when I would rather just sit on my ass all day and do nothing.

Yeah especially when they dont appreciate it and think its nothing

@SStarfish Yep! All day every day.
Yeah

Direct care people, the ones doing ALL the work at the "front lines" are the worst paid,the least respected and never get enough support which is why so many social workers get so burned out...even though they started out with the greatest intentions.

It's very important work and sorely needed - hopefully you don't get burnt out, firstly for your own well being and secondly...people need help!

@fun4us2b Thanks. I just really need a vacation.

Your profession is indeed appreciated.

Yes it get tiring, yes I get annoyed with the drunks and occasionally violent people we have to deal with and all the other crap but at the end of the day I know I've done a good thing @SW-User
