Social workers should able to interact with different people from different background education and culture. Secondly, social workers have plenty of chance to know better about their country since they travel to many different areas.

For social workers who work in development project usually their targeted is remote area. Remote area means limited number of public infrastructure or facility, vehicle, no factory, and fresh air. For instance, Mentawai Island in West Sumatra Indonesia is one of remote area. In that place, the beaches are outstanding and the water is blue. Since tsunami that occurred at 2010, many social workers came to Mentawai to response that disaster, not only rebuilt but also develop that island. 

Finally, it provides a great deal of satisfaction because social workers help people in need to achieve a better life by improving their income. For example, social workers assisted the farmers to manage and planted their farm properly and it caused an increase in the yield, so at the end their income had been improved. So, being a social worker it’s very rewarding career.
