As per my understanding social work or any other counselling field as a career is good for me because I have active interest in helping people who have some or the other type of problems. In the society we still have many issues which are based on the socio-economic aspects, psychological aspects, basic amenities aspect. By this I mean that the scope of social work as a career is huge and thus it is a good fit for me. It is also a good fit because I am passionate about working with people. I love meeting new people and interact with them. I also have good communication and public relations skills which are very crucial in this field.
