Simeon’s Answer

Social work is a pretty wide field, so it's important to ask what kind of social work you're looking to get into. You could end up with a group like the Peace Corps that travels internationally, but a majority of social work will be local as far as I know. Social work tends to occur in the urban sections of large cities, although social work can occur for many kinds of people and can be very rural-focused depending on the particular non-profit.

Bianca’s Answer

Great Question,
It all depends on where you chose to be employed and the level of impact you would like to have. You can work at a college as a clinical social worker, in this setting the student's come to you. If you work in the Non- Profit sector your chances of commuting is higher. I hope this helps. It all depends on the company and title. Traveling is not mandatory.

Tejaswini’s Answer

Hi,

That is a very nice question.

I have been working and in parallel doing social work through my company. Based on my interest i do attend both on campus and off campus events. I do get to travel a lot, however travelling includes to places like remote villages, orphanage, hospice centre, old age homes.

Hope that answers your question.

Be informed that traveling won't be a challenge if you are truly passionate about the cause. Most of the times the NGO will cover up for it.

Regards,

Tejaswini
