I did Youth Justice work for years, and although it was completely unfulfilling and depressing, I still would choose social work over Tech as working with people interests me more than machines..
Well it would be nice to know what other people think of these careers, what they dislike or like about them.
Well generally I spend a lot of time working with people as a technician. Plus most any job is a neat and clean problem, investigation, diagnosis, resolution and happy end user (though no "Happy Endings"
).As a social worker you have arguments, children being returned to problem homes, breaking up of families, anguish, grief, threats &c. I certainly would not prefer to be a social worker.
Though the two choices do seem odd. How about a third "Oil boy for the Swedish bikini team"
.
Are you incapable of making your own choices?
Next time you need advice, just ask yourself what YOU want, because what I want should matter very little to you.

If you can't even help yourself choose your own path, how are you going to help others? Maybe you can tell them to join a forum and start a thread about it.
