<p>You should choose the path that your heart tells you to follow. If you see so much need around you, there are other ways you can help besides becoming a social worker. A business person could offer jobs and internships to underpriviledged kids, or a musician could hold benefit concerts to support an after school program, etc. You can still help the world without sacrificing your career. YOU have to work at that job, so you better choose a career you enjoy getting out of bed for every day!</p>
