What to do after graduating from university? In reality, this question can be very difficult to answer. After all, even many teachers cannot clearly answer students what awaits them ahead. Nevertheless, for some, building a career in this field is quite interesting and even successful. Unfortunately, there are few different alternatives here. This is such a cruel specialty" Social work". Where to work after graduating from university? Let's try to figure this out as soon as possible. After all, there are not so many vacancies on offer, although the positions are, as a rule, constantly empty.
Social worker
Of course, the first place that can be recommended is the fact that this vacancy is not particularly popular in Russia, although it plays an important role for society.
You have completed your degree in Social Work. Who to work with? As already mentioned - a social worker. What to do here? You will have to help people in need, as well as identify and register them. In other words, to be in the government service of “surveillance” of social development population.
A social work specialist is far from the most promising position. Practice has shown this. After all, you won’t be able to become a boss - for this you must have connections. But anyone can become an “ordinary” employee. Only the level of salaries, taking into account the responsibility and emotional stress, is very, very small.
Policy
The job can also involve politics. The thing is that many graduates of this specialty have great prospects for personal growth. And this, like nothing else, will help them achieve success in politics.
In practice, to be honest, this situation occurs very rarely. After all, the standard description of the specialty does not include any mention of political activity. As a rule, graduates are told that they will only be able to get a job as an ordinary social worker at some enterprise and work there almost all their lives.
So, don’t think that “Social work” is a death sentence. You can easily become a successful politician. Only for this you will have to make considerable efforts. But the result will please you in every sense.
Teacher
Such a vacancy as a social teacher is very common these days. To be honest, this position is most often found in kindergartens. Graduates of the specialty “Social work” often become educators there. Why does this happen?
The thing is that such employees, as a rule, very quickly determine social problems in children and their parents. And if necessary, they are registered as a dysfunctional family. This in turn helps eliminate problems and improve the atmosphere. And, of course, it has a beneficial effect on the child.
But social work with children is not particularly popular among graduates and young employees. The thing is that here you will not be able to receive high wages. And with career growth, things are very difficult. Thus, only those who “have a soul” for this profession are capable of working as a (social) teacher.
Nurse
You have completed your degree in Social Work. What to do after graduation? For example, such graduates have the opportunity to work as a professional caregiver for the disabled. The prospect is not the brightest, but this vacancy is almost always empty.
However, not everyone will agree to work as a nurse. Especially when you consider that, again, you will receive low wages, but during the working day you will have to give all your best full program. Often caregivers look like a squeezed lemon by the end of the week.
Therefore, young graduates are not particularly interested in this vacancy. They are more interested in the vacancy of a “hostel teacher.” Only in practice, people with extensive life experience are hired for such positions. Typically, this vacancy is occupied exclusively by women over 50 years of age. So young graduates have very little chance of getting this vacancy.
Psychologist
Sociologist-psychologist is another position that is available to graduates. But here things are a little better than with previous vacancies. The point is that you can work as a sociologist-psychologist either in government agency, and in private. In the first case, you will be in the civil service, but your salary will be meager. And there is a lot of work.
In the second case, you will not have civil service in experience, but this is the level wages will be several times higher. Additionally, the clientele is also different in the two places. In the first case, you will most likely have to work with disadvantaged families, and in the second, you will have to serve elite clients.
Of course, everyone chooses for themselves what is best for them. Only in practice it has been proven that a sociologist-psychologist is quite often chosen as a private job rather than a public one. And this is understandable - it is very important for young employees career, as well as the level of wages, which are not satisfactory in government agencies.
Medicine
Your diploma says "Social Work" as a specialty. Who to work with? For example, in addition to all the listed vacancies, you can also work in medical institutions. And here there are several options for the development of events. Which ones? Let's figure it out.
For example, graduates of our current specialty can work in the so-called social medical worker. This vacancy involves supporting and helping sick people. For example, working with alcohol and drug addicts, as well as with people with disabilities different categories. This is far from the best the best place for the work of young and promising university graduates.
You can also work as a psychologist in medical institution. It's more a good place. Usually, it is for this position that employees are hired for whom it is important to work in medicine, but at the same time have a sociology degree.
Conclusion
Today we figured out what kind of specialty “Social work” is, who to work for, and also what places graduates choose most often. To be honest, in practice it turns out that few people work with a diploma in this field.
Often it is enough just to get at least some higher education in order to work in one place or another. For example, sociologists are very often found as managers, waiters and cashiers. That is, with this diploma you can get a job wherever you want. But in most cases only by an ordinary employee.

The life of any society is a complex, multifaceted process that involves a large number of controversial situations. There are socially vulnerable or problematic groups of people who require help, material and moral support, and human participation. Previously, these functions were distributed between law enforcement agencies, educational and healthcare institutions. But since 1991, the profession of social worker has appeared in our country, the activities of whose representatives are aimed at helping and supporting those in need.
Areas of activity

This area includes working with a problem child, with his parents, supporting a family member in case of domestic violence, helping a lonely pensioner, etc.

Often, a social worker has to deal with disadvantaged groups, or with those who have problems with crime - alcoholics, drug addicts, difficult teenagers who are registered with law enforcement agencies and require control and rehabilitation.
- Community work. Most often it is required in small, fairly close teams (for example, in a village). Aimed at creating and strengthening interpersonal connections in the team, organizing mutual assistance.
- The special field of activity of professionals is social projects. This could be an organization of assistance to civilians during natural disasters, during military conflicts. As an example, it is worth mentioning the collection of donations, necessary things or food for refugees.
Specifics of the profession
Social work is superficially similar to charity, which is voluntarily provided by certain people to those in need. However, the key point in the activities of professionals is considered to be the theoretical basis and practical skills that are the main component of the specialty. Those who want to become social workers study at universities at the faculties of the same name. The disciplines that are basic for students are pedagogy, psychology, sociology. Special place Practice takes place during training. Without it, the young specialist will have little idea of what awaits him. The practical basis will help in both employment and professional development.
Social work is defined by qualified assistance to groups of people and individuals in solving their life's troubles and problems. Because complexities and communities vary, work requires a range of skills and knowledge. This profession can be described as having an integral nature. That is, it combines knowledge, skills and abilities from related disciplines.
A social worker, in order to diagnose the problems of his ward, uses psychological techniques; to resolve the problem, he can use legal knowledge (if necessary) or pedagogical knowledge (in the case of working with a teenager, a child from a problem family). Sometimes social work is directly related to helping the patient: for example, rehabilitation in case of irreversible injury or serious illness.
Special mention should be made of activities in the case of interaction with a person who has experienced violence or lost a loved one. Two aspects are important here: firstly, theoretical knowledge and skills from the field of psychology, which allow you to find the right approach to the ward, and secondly, sensitivity, tact, participation and a sincere desire to help.
The scale of activity of a social worker can be very different. He can contribute to the transformation of the client’s personality, or he can manage an entire social sphere.
Approaches to activity
- Educational. A social worker acts as a teacher and advisor. He models situations, the behavior of his ward, establishes with him feedback and gives advice.
- Advocative. The specialist acts as a lawyer. He helps in collecting documentation, in arguing that he is right, and helps the client achieve success in a particular problem area (for example, correcting certificates for disability benefits).
- Facilitative. An approach that involves helping to overcome personal apathy and disorganization. A professional models behavior, encourages, looks for optimal options for your client.
Categories of social work
The specialty involves many options for activity, the main ones being the following:
- Social politics. The broadest direction, which involves improving the life of society in this area, a number of measures aimed at solving problems, creating conditions to meet the vital needs of certain groups of the population.

Requirements for a specialist
A description of the profession would be incomplete without mentioning the personal qualities that a social worker needs. Since the object of his activity is a person, a formal attitude, callousness, commercialism and indifference are incompatible with such work. You should not only understand and realize the importance of your own specialty, but also sincerely feel sorry for the one who ended up in difficult situation, try to help him with all my heart. Only in this case will the activity bring real results.
The concept of social ethics also deserves special mention. This is one of the most important components of the profession, without which productivity is impossible. Ethics is important because a social worker deals with issues of vulnerable segments of the population, as well as people who come to him with problems - alcoholics, drug addicts, former prisoners, the poor. Respectful and humane treatment is an integral part of the profession.
Social work is a field that pays modestly. Unfortunately, in our country the salary of a worker in this field is low. On average it is 12 thousand rubles. It is possible to take on part-time jobs, receive small increments and bonuses, and sometimes there is a chance to go into management, where the rewards are higher. In general, a social worker is one for whom the first place is not salary, but the work for which he came into his profession.
The social sphere is quite multifunctional. The activity of social workers is to provide assistance to people experiencing difficult life situation. Specialists with higher education in social work help solve problems of a medical, legal, psychological, and social nature.
