social work?

Question

hi all

i am currently studding BA social work through UNISA, although i dont know much about it?

i would like to find out general things like how much do social workers earn? is there a higher qualification after BA? once you qualify is it difficult to get a job? is there a demand for social workers oversees?

if any one is a social worker(esspecially in South Africa) please help?

i am interested in working with children.
what do social workers get paid? in S.A the assumption is that they are over-worked and under paid. is this true?

Answer 2

You can get a Master's in Social Work after your BA. In SA I would think that social workers are in high demand. DA

Answer 3

You do PG agter degree in social work, and then look around for NGO's hiring young talents with your qualification (almost anywhere in the civilized world): it's a good field, paying, and with good prospects, if you are hardworking and levelheaded!
