Many people work in the helping profession and it is not always an easy job. You are working with people everyday and helping them in many different ways. It takes a couple years of college to know what your doing and what your looking for and probably be able to work with someone. People go to be counselors, teachers, nurses, human services, or anything that has to do with helping someone. Though you might not think teachers are a helping profession, though I would, because they are helping students learn. They put in the time and effort to make a child to love learning and gain more knowledge. They are helping tiny little human beings to go to greater places.

Sometimes working in the helping profession is not always easy. There are times when you cry. When you just want to go home and cry wishing you could of helped in a different way. Though knowing that no matter what you did, no matter how hard you helped, you could not do it. You could not help someone in the way they needed to be helped. You know as a person in a helping profession, you do everything you can to help someone and even then, it might not always be enough. Though you get up the next day and go back to work. There is another day where there is a positive outcome.

You enjoy helping more than life itself. You work everyday to helping other people. You nurse them back to help, you are counseling them through things they could not do on their own, being able to teach a student another day, being able to help a family get back together, or even help a child find a forever home. There are little things that happen everyday that make it so rewarding. It is almost like an art to help someone. Not everyone is good at being able to help others. It takes a special kind of person to love helping and put others needs first. Knowing that they are doing better off because you helped them in some way.

You will feel needed. Everyday someone comes to you needing help. Needing help getting better, needing help with issues, or just something. As humans, we want to feel needed everyday. In the helping profession you get that almost everyday. There is always someone new that needs your help. Even keeps coming back. It is even better at the end of the day, after you have helped them, you helped them for the better. You were able to fix their problem and get them to a place where they can be better people.

The amount of growth you get. There are many way you grow in the field. Everyday you grow a little more in the field and even get to move up. Sometimes that means you get to be the supervisor, getting a better salary, or even just being in a higher position. There is always room for growing in the field.

Being able to learn and grow as a person in the field. Seriously, not only are you growing in the job of moving up, but your learning more everyday that you would not have know before. You are learning more about yourself, about how much you can take, how you handle different situations, how much as a person you can change to be. As the more knowledge you can get and the more experienced in an area, the more that that people are going to come to you and be referred to you. You become more knowledge and people are going to want to see that when they come to see you for help.

At the end of the day, you love your job and would not change it for the world. You show up to work everyday, hoping for the very best. Knowing that today could bring anything when helping someone. There will either be a good day or a bad day. There will be someone new that needs your help, there will even be people that no longer need your help but you hope them the best. That what you did to help them will stay with them. You will either learn that you can handle that day or you could not. There is always hope for another day. There are so many rewards of being in the helping profession. You are helping people who need you. Who need someone. There is nothing wrong going into the helping world. Keep your head up out there.
