the culinary answer is not talking about a REAL job as a social worker. it's probably talking about a social service job, which almost anybody (except those DUIs from the other question) can get.\nto be a real social worker in the united states you usually need not a BA , but a masters in social work, or an MSW.\nyou may also need licensure.\nsociology is related to, but NOT the same as social work.\nbe very careful you don't waste your time and your money.
