Regardless of your EC major, imagine you were going into the social work profession. First, describe what field of social work you would want to go into and why you chose this field. Then discuss what this job would be like, where you would work, what you would do, etc. You can use your textbook or find information online.
Brief Example: I want to go into school social work because I want to work in education and with children. I would like to work in an elementary school setting. As a school social worker, I would create IEPs for special needs students, lead group sessions that focus on social-emotional learning, etc.
