I doubt any of the negative answers you receive are actually from social workers. I am one and I can tell you that it's the most versatile career you can find. I do statistics in my social work job, determining the effectiveness of our social service programs. I can be an administrator or a case manager or a program director.
Almost every workplace is interesting and rewarding and that's a lie that you'll end up in government work. Most social workers are employed by private entities.
Good luck in your career! You'll love it!

I used to be that major but I interned at an agency and the social workers said they were way overworked and highly underpaid. Most of them had to work a second job just to stay alive. And had to work with clients that had roaches in their homes and what not. So I'd have to say no

My mom is a social worker, and she finds it rewarding however, there is little money in the profession.

You will not make much money, and will end up in a government position if you have a career. You need to check how many people do it and how many openings tehre are where you desire to live.

Excellent choice as long as you don't mind being poor.
