I interviewed a social work student, Cara Craig, and asked her about her expectations about the social work profession. When I asked Cara what she expects one of her biggest stresses, she said,
"I think the thing that will stress me out the most is probably when I have to keep my opinion to myself. I’m not very good at that. When there are others who are doing things I don’t necessarily agree with, I think that will be a problem for me, especially if they fall in line with my morals."
Cara told me she wants to work with children and pregnant teenagers. She said, "Teenagers don’t like to listen to anything adults say, especially when they’re in a stage of rebellion. So I think the fact that they aren’t going to listen and want to do the opposite of whatever you have to say is probably going to stress me out a lot."
