An Entry In Which Palmer Bitches About Uni
Not in general, but perhaps about the College of Social Work, and what I’ve observed within it. And what I’ve observed, so far, is that these people are fucking douchebags. Have a complaint about how business is conducted? Bitch while you can, hope some people listen, before the complaint is wiped from the record completely. Looking for help? Ask away, but expect condescending remarks directly after your problem is addressed. I think I might be at the wrong fucking University for this sort of program, if this is what peer-support is like. Peer support in fucking Social Work for chrissakes… you know, a field of work where you’re supposed to, oh, I don’t know, help people? Nurture and support those in need? Be an advocate for small voices? Right. Right…
I realize I’ve been rather hypersensitive over the last few, but I think this would grate my nerves under the swellest of circumstances. Maybe not to this extent… the extent of thinking of changing schools or perhaps even major… if I am indeed going for my Master’s, why not just do Psychology? The only reason I decided on Social Work was so I could find BA-level employment, after all, where a BA in Psychology would have me as good as flipping burgers. BUT… yeah, that’s something to think about when I’m not so hypersensitive and pissed off at the world.
Then again… maybe I should consider it before I commit myself to potentially useless classes next semester.

A BA in psych can also get you a social work job, and some other stuff…we forgot ’cause we already have a better paying job (I’d say just “better” but then there are the apes we work with) thanks to other qualifications. *clears throat awkwardly*
Makhsihed on LJ got a job with her psych BA; you might enjoy chatting her up. And of course the department will probably be able to tell you a lot more than us or her. ^_^
