  8. Why I Chose Social Work as my Career Path • Prior to coming to college, I was considered having a big heart. I tend to help people in any situation, as long as there is a good outcome. Even though there were times when people took my helpfulness for granted, it never changed my outlook because people go through different situations. By choosing social work, I want to be able to possibly change someone’s life, and make a better living for those I encounter.
