>> Someone who's flexible.
Someone who's flexible, someone who's passionate, someone who's compassionate.
Everyone cannot do social service even though some of us have a bleeding heart
and we really want to help people, help families.
It might not be a good fit.
So I think volunteer.
That's my biggest thing I tell my college students, like interns, to volunteer.
Get your feet wet in the area you think you would like to work in and really see if you do.
I've been laid off three times.
I've been shifted around five times, because in social service a lot of the money goes according
to who's the mayor, who's the governor, who is the president,
and as those offices change different initiatives that they want
to push change, and things start up.
So you definitely have to be flexible.
I'd say you have to be a little thrifty because it's --
a lot of jobs I've had are non-profit world, and non-profit deals with grants and, again,
state budgets and discretionary funds that the government have.
So nothing is set in stone and things could change.
