im asking this question because my ultimate goal is to become a social worker. i would love to help the children that are getting physically, mentally, emotionally and sexually abused. ive wanted to help since i was 10 yrs old! but, is there really horrible sights in the future? has there been cases where you cant help? is it a very rewarding job and pays good?

Hey kelsie i wanted to share an interesting fact with you. First of all india is not a poor country. Our per capita Income was 955 Us dollar and according to the world bank a country with this figures is a middle level income generating nation and not a poor one. Poor countries are the one's with per capita income lower than 900 us dollar. So thats a hugh difference, And india is a developing country and not underdeveloped. And if you want to come to development field you should start studying world bank reports right from this age.. Thanks for reading this. Bye take care..Your friend samir..
