Are social workers in demand? I hear some places are begging for them, other places you cant buy a job.
I have an interest in becoming a social worker? Is it worth pursuing?

Honestly, the world is always in need of good social workers. Just be prepared, to earn a REAL living in social work you will need a minimum education of a Masters degree. Good luck in your choices!

I have a friend that is a social worker and she does not get paid very well, I think around 26,000 annually, and that is not so good for having a bachelor's degree.
I think that there is some demand, and I would look on the Department of Labor website to see what the acutal demand is right now. If you like helping people, you might enjoy the career.
Best of luck!

Yes, do it. My mom did social work for 20 years in the Welfare Department, and she saved so many people's lives by giving them food, clothing and shelter when they were in utter poverty. Social work is tough, but it is very rewarding.

Research job demand, pay, and if that is what will make you happy go for it.

It is, especially if you'd enjoy it. Network with others.
It's who you know, not what you know.
