So hey ya'll!!!! I'm not a regular shemegular girl I actually went to college for 7 years! SOOO I completed my A.A in liberal arts because I switched my major so many times and didn't know what I wanted to be :( But! I completed my Bachelors in Social Work and now I regret it!! So first off to be paid as a social worker I'll need my Masters then License for it. But in order to complete a Masters in that career I'll have to take out a couple of loans which is something that I am not willing to do haha can't fool me CUNY!!! lol
So I was off social media for about (from June till last week of August) three months because I came across a case manager position at a congregate housing facility at Prospect Ave and the first month was fine. The clients are needy as hell even though they have a hell alot of services in place except for like one thats always in the hospital and another whose always leaving the building, the boss is cool, my co-workers are awesome but then I started getting tired. Everyone started to need my help at any chance they got and it was exhausting. The second month I was so-so happy but not really. I kept on thinking shit... am I going to be in this low paying position for the rest of my life?? Is this all? Is that it? Why do everyone need me? I felt like a ping pong ball all over the place. And I was the youngest in the god damn building. I ended up sinking in my thoughts everyday I was at the job. Am I really safe in this building? Why are security scared of some of the clients? What will happen if something were to happen to me? Would there be a report to the hire up's? Why is it when a crime is committed it is swept under the rug? Why the fuck is there staff meetings on my days off? Why am I sent to clean a dirty fridge -_____-?? (pics below of how dirty it was (DISGUSTING) At the end of cleaning the dirty foods I went straight to the bathroom to puked because that is the most horrific thing to smell. It smelled like dead rat with stale bread. I can't even describe it.
In the third month which is August, we were getting closer to our Audit date. Wtf is an Audit? Why is it important? Why is it scary to be Audited? But it's okay to sweep crime under the rug? There was one specific client who coughed so damn fucking hard with his feeding pump I thought I was going to end up getting sick every single fucking time he coughed near me. And the other one with tree trunk legs and cancer all over his god damn body (I called him Deadpool) oh my god what fucking shit did I get myself into. Mind you all these clients have mental illnesses, severe history of incarceration and homelessness, substance abuse, HIV+/AIDS and the list goes on.
My wake-up call was when my ex-client was all over the news because he was an accomplice to a crime that was all over the news. I knew for a fact that that would not be reported and prior to that there was two other crimes committed within that job I had. So I'm like fuck it this pattern will never be broken. This was getting too dangerous so I decided to leave and I did.
I regret going to college. I regret getting a Diploma in a career I hate. I regret this low paying shitty career.
