POST3: MY DREAM JOB

My dream job would be to be a social worker, in a social organization that focuses on helping vulnerable people and communities. Specifically, I would like to work in the field of children or gender.

In the area of children, I would like to work to protect children and young people from abuse and neglect. On the other hand, in the area of gender, I would like to work on support services for victims of domestic violence, including emotional support, counselling and help in obtaining resources and safety services. 

To carry out this work requires the ability to apply the theories and methodologies taught depending on the social context in which one wants to intervene, communicating effectively with localities, advocating for rights and promoting social change.

The salary of a social worker may vary according to the type of employer, whether it is a private, public or non-profit organization. The average salary of a social worker in Chile is $900,000.

I am currently studying social work. I chose my career mainly because I like the idea of working directly with people and trying to solve their problems. Now that I am in my second year, I have realized how important it is in society, promoting social change and development.
