12 Things Only Social Work Majors Understand

We all know one of them. They're kind, overly generous, sometimes a little too right about everything. If you have a Social Worker in your life, or someone who is currently studying Social Work, then you are a lucky soul. These are the guys who have a passion for people, and that includes you.

1. In all of your Social Work classes, you come out feeling a sense of accomplishment after a good conversation with other Social work majors.

2. Or you just feel sad because you’ve realized there are so many good things to do and you’re just one person.

3. You’re usually the one your friends go to if they want good, solid advice.

4. Because they know you’ll always give them the truth, as well as a plan of action.


5. And you’re always calm under pressure.


6. If someone has a difference of opinion, you’re really good at hearing them out.

7. But you’re even better at keeping your own opinions to yourself.

8. People are constantly asking you to do things because they know you won’t say no.

9. And also because they know you won’t do anything without doing it right.

10. The phrase “the shirt off my back” is not really that ridiculous to you, because you’ve probably actually given someone the shirt off of your back.

11. You’re always the one choking back tears at the semi-emotional ‘In the arms of the angels’ commercials.

12. You love people. Even when you hate them, you love them.
