You did everything “right” on the honor roll, multiple degrees, tons of potential, and now you’re in a social work job that doesn’t reflect any of it. I’ve had hundreds of conversations with social workers experiencing this misalignment and wondering if it’s just them.It’s not just you. And it makes perfect sense that you’re craving something more.What I’m sharing in this episode is something I wish more people had said out loud: the wrong job doesn’t just slow you down; it chips away at who you are. And if you’re not careful, you can lose your drive, confidence, and career direction before you even realize it. This isn’t about burnout; it’s about being in environments that don’t challenge or value you in the ways you need to thrive.I’m unpacking why this happens, how I help my coaching clients reconnect with their career purpose, and what it looks like to build a career around who you actually are, not just the job that was available.🎧 Listen to the full episode now.Happy macro career planning,Marthea Pitts, MSW#MacroSocialWork #SocialWorkCareer #SocialWorkerClarity #CareerChangeSocialWorker #MSWCoach #CaseManagementToMacro #SocialWorkersInTransition #socialworkcareercoach #macrosocialworkcareercoach
