Stop letting an uncompensated system convince you that suffering equals dedication. If you’re an MSW student or intern feeling guilty for taking the easy route on assignments or shifts, that guilt isn't an ethical failing—it’s institutional conditioning. Social work field placements and degree programs demand full-time labor for zero pay, driving students straight into burnout before their careers even start. Going easy, doing the baseline to pass, and protecting your energy isn't cutting corners—it’s your leverage. Save your real passion for the actual career ahead. THE COMMENTS DO NOT LIE: The hundreds of comments I'm getting from TikTok from social work students and practicing social workers all over the country and maybe all over the world (complete with reposts, likes, profile views, follows, and favorites) demonstrate that what my study found is a widespread reality. Most MSW students and interns are completely miserable. ABOUT ME: Dr. Mary Powell, PhD, LCSW, NCPsyA is a social work professor of 20 years, a DBT therapist and a certified psychoanalyst of nearly 30 years in private practice. You can find a lot about me by googling Mary Powell, PhD, LCSW, NCPsyA. My LinkedIn page lists all of my professional and academic experience. DISCLAIMER: This video was created with all due and affectionate respect to social work and social work education. This video is, in addition to past literature, inspired by findings from a study of 203 MSW interns. Because it was a single-school study, the exact numbers might not generalize to every campus, internship, or student. Also, some of you students are having great experiences! No way am I telling you not to enter the profession! It's a great profession and you can go very far in your career (as I did 😊 ). This video and my others are merely my subjective opinions but they are based on objective evidence. READ THE BOOK FOR FREE: You can access the groundbreaking book completely FREE as an eBook through your university's online library website!

It is also sold both in print and ebook on Amazon, Barnes, Springer Link (publisher), and pretty much everywhere, including major online academic bookstores. Book Title: "Burnout in Social Work Field Education: Mitigating the Risk."
