I’m trying to give someone advice on choosing a career that will suit them better than the one they’re in and hate. I wanted to get together a list of good questions for them to ask themselves so they can use the answers to compare options like “do you prefer to work sitting or moving around,” “do you want to not work weekends” etc.

    Hello, I’m a licensed clinical social worker, and you didn’t give a straight answer yet again. But by your vague description, I’m the one who should know lmao

      You already said that, to no change in effect. It is easily a straight enough answer if you have a card, or do you?

        If it’s “easily a straight enough answer” then you’d be able to write a definition of “social services” rather than make vague allusions

          Alright. I would say the best one is that they’re like diplomats, except instead of being international, they’re top-down.

            Wow. Admitting “I don’t know” is a strength that demonstrates self-awareness and confidence. Making shit up, though…

                “Social services are like diplomats, except instead of being international, they’re top-down” is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. You absolutely made that up.
