What is a job people romanticize a bit too much until they actually do it ?

Social work- I think social workers can be overly idealistic and green when new. With experience we learn the harsh realities of domestic violence, parental abuse, drug addiction, poverty, cutting, psychopathology/ and any and all struggles children/ ppl have. Doesn’t take long until you see with eyes open what we’re up against in terms of lack of resources available to the most marginalized ppl. I now see each intervention (big or small) as a stepping stone to something better- and nothing else but that.

Social media, specifically organic social. A lot of people think it is just posting pretty pictures and funny videos… far from it.
