Social Work is a profession without enough respect or funding. The people who continue to show up are: Social Workers-
A person who feels driven to help others less fortunate than themselves. A person who continues to feel this way despite low funds, and not enough funding sources. A person who continues to feel this way despite ignorant viewpoints like the ones published on this site. Unlike what a fool wrote previously on this site, people must attend school, non-technical schools don’t count. A person who went to at least a 4 year school after high school and graduated with a Bachelors in Social Work (BSW). A person who went to at least six years of school after high school and graduated with a Master in Social Work (MSW). A person who grasps the ability of empathy and compassion while working out in the field, the class work has nothing to do with the easy of the job.
A person who can handle the most mentally draining times, again and again, but continue to wake up feeling driven to serve. These situations include reporting the abuse of the elderly, listening to a former alcoholic/drug addict admit to relapse, witnessing a child have their life beat out of them, seeing first hand the way mental abuse can hurt an individual, feeding children who have had nothing to eat for days, helping a family deal with a suicide of a loved one, find a home for an elderly parent when their family can’t handle them anymore, ensuring the mentally take their medications daily so they don’t end up re-committed into the hospital for erratic behavior and caring for the children who have no one to care for them.

Get the Social Work mug.Description of a man or a woman who, by normal standards, is average in the looks department, however, when standing next to some of the homely individuals in your office, they look like a perfect 10.
I was so excited that Jenna said yes to my date proposal. She is the hottest girl in the office and I thought all my friends would be jealous. When we arrived at the party, my buddy's couldn't understand why I was hanging out with such and average looking girl. I learned the hard way that Jenna is only work pretty.

Get the co-worker mug.the girl in the office who flirts with all the guys who are cute and have loving girlfriends. she usually has big tits but a mediocre face and writes many facebook wall posts that go unreplied-to.
her main strategies of flirtation include silly nicknames, semi-personal office-related inside jokes, teasing, and funny youtube videos.
the guys in the office are nice to her and entertain her youtube video fascinations occasionally but in the end, there's a reason why they still have girlfriends elsewhere.

"Justin was so worked up over his sisters friend he would feel sweaty and excited for her return"
"Gabe was all worked up in anticipation for the expected date with the model"
"Every night before bed he would get worked up over the blonde girls picture"
Waiting to see if she was picked to dance for the next song, Mellissa would get worked up before it even started.
