I started my psychology degree with the goal of being a child safety officer - over my degree I've changed my mind though and don't think that's where I'll end up.

I guess I've been kind of shocked out of the idea just based on case studies and stories from lecturers of their personal experience.

From what I can tell its an incredibly rewarding job if you have a thick enough skin to distance yourself from it - I'm just not sure I could do it.

Also, as a case worker you need to be on call 24/7 and now that I'm a parent myself I don't want that strain on me.

Good luck!!
