		<description>Barack Obama is President

Michael Steele is head of the Republican National Committee

Bobbie Jindal is a rising Republican Governor

Eric Holder is the Attorney General

There are at least 7 other cabinet-level minorities, many of them the first minority in that post.


Does this rise in minority visibility on both sides of the aisle mean anything?</description>

		<description>Hi Khalid, thanks for stopping by...

I recognize what your point is here: why should someone struggling on their own to get by, sacrifice themselves even further to do social work that likely won&#039;t significantly improve their situation.

I can appreciate that sentiment and would say the following:

1- my initial statements about the social work profession on this page, where domestic in nature. i am by no means familiar with social work in india- how it is similar or dissimilar to social work in the usa, or how its compensation/rewards compare

2- perhaps a person in a developing country who feels that a social work profession would not enable them to achieve their life goals, should not pursue that profession. generally social work is a calling from somewhere, and it is possible to answer that calling without making social work your career. 

3- that being said, i recognize that engaging in service to others, or advocacy for others is a luxury afforded to those who can afford to get by on the income generated from such activities alone...

4- i would hope that social workers from around the world move to join international social work occupations in increasing numbers so that the global wealth distribution can be more equitably attended to...

5- whatever it is you decide to do, or whatever situation you find yourself in, I hope that things will improve for you, and I wish you the best.

take care,
kevin</description>
