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.

    Are you a troll? There’s not a shred of reality in anything you just wrote. The federal government has no role whatsoever in any CPS function, it’s entirely a state-based system. This is also just completely made up:

    The actual social work institution (not just “working for society”) has its management divided across the US into subregions that typically encompass a few states

    The social work profession doesn’t have a singular “management,” there are state licensing boards the same way there are for doctors and nurses. Licensed social workers work for literally thousands of different agencies and there are no “sub regions that typically encompass a few states.” Even better, almost none of the CPS caseworkers in my state are social workers. Social work has basically nothing to do with CPS. Where did you learn any of this?! Try to learn it again

          Do you have something against the usage of the DSS site of a local area to use as an example of one which proves my point about the CPS being one with social services? You are not using the term in the institutional sense if it’s not specific to human resources, though I concede about one of the other parts, I mixed two of the maps up despite the same idea applying (I forgot the US district map and the state one were distinct). It is more or less similar to what I was saying.

              I have something against someone who has something against someone who says it’s a nightmare (aside from all the other things I’ve given to back myself up already, not to mention being anecdotal to complain I’m merely being anecdotal when I’m not), it’s called loads upon loads of distributed stories and footage by people from all across the nation. What it’s like to work in an organization doesn’t take away from the hardship of dealing with those who do that work, the latter is the very reason I turned down doing the work. It could use some reforming, no matter what positives can be made of it.
