Is it better to be a social worker or a rural teacher?

First of all, I am a branch secretary in a community. Let me talk about the impact of community work on your future development prospects.

Social work is a very new profession. The education system and teaching staff are not complete enough. Although many universities across the country offer undergraduate and postgraduate education in social work, people It is the power that determines everything. The quality of teachers is unsatisfactory and the teaching materials are generally more theoretical. Social workers who grew up in such an atmosphere have a bias in their understanding.

So what can you become after studying social work?

The first step is to become a leader: If you study social work, you must become a leader. Social work is a comprehensive discipline that integrates many learning theories such as sociology, psychology, and behavior. We understand the concept of "people" better than others. What have we learned in group social work, how to understand the characteristics of these groups, and then organize them to carry out various activities together, such as enhancing communication between them and enhancing leadership skills; The organization method of group social work that looks like a "game" has risen After entering enterprises and institutions, as long as the individual has a flexible mind and can use these techniques flexibly, he can convince the public and give people a refreshing feeling. In Hong Kong, social work undergraduates and MSWs can quickly gain leadership positions in many service industries after graduation, which is based on this. The key is to learn to think and solve problems when you engage in group activities that feel "pediatric".

The second is to become an experienced negotiator. The negotiator here does not only refer to the negotiators in "cop movies". When used in business, it means a master negotiator, who may easily save the company hundreds of thousands of yuan; when used in diplomacy, it means a diplomat, who can negotiate for interests. Maximize benefits from gains and losses, and be able to navigate between various forces with ease. This is definitely not rhetoric. Negotiation ability is a comprehensive quality development. Is there a difference between a social worker and a regular “helper”? There is no doubt that social work can become a profession and have a complete theoretical framework and practical basis, which will make it unique. There is a complete set of methodologies for discovering problems, analyzing problems, finding solutions, looking for available resources, and comprehensively solving problems. When this methodology is used at the negotiation table, it is a very artistic ability to handle problems. What makes people different is what they have learned and their expertise.

Third, become a public relations expert. Social workers must have the ability to deal with a wide variety of people, have very strong coordination skills, and be able to conduct effective public relations among various social forces. I think many social workers can agree with this because of their experience. Whether it’s an internship or work, it can be shown, so I won’t go into details here.

Furthermore, you are now the deputy director of a community. I believe that if you work hard for a year, you will learn inexhaustible "wealth" in this life. This kind of practical knowledge Experience can make you a brand new person. After you are familiar with community work, and you have an English level 8, I firmly believe that you will make a difference. Just do community work for three years while you are young. Everything starts from the masses. You You will fall in love with this profession. If you really can't adapt to this job after three years, 1. It will be helpful for you to become a civil servant in the future. After all, you already understand what the people want and what you have to do for the people. . 2. If you go overseas to do business, it will be helpful to you, because three years of community work will definitely make a huge difference in your public relations and interpersonal relationships, and you will get twice the result with half the effort when starting a business.

As for the contract, don’t worry. If you don’t do it, you can leave. If you join the civil service, there will be a series of preferential policies for you. Girl, you have chosen the right path. You will join the society just after graduation. Exercise, and your best chance is in the community, go ahead and good luck!
