Social Work StAR at ASU

Hi! my name is Amyann I am going to both West and Downtown ASU in order to study Social Work and Aging. Feel free to get to know me through my blog, or email me to find out more about being a Social Work Student in the College of Public Programs.

2016

Dear Readers,

An Article from the Arizona Republic was sent to me recently, and I really got into while reading it so I figured other's might find interest in it too. The article mentions how "Among the nation's full-time federal workforce, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management reports that nearly 61 percent will be eligible to retire by 2016" (Friedman 2009), meaning that for those who are ready and willing to retire, they might want to have a replacement to train up and be prepared to take over their job. This of coarse will not be true for all people who are of age to retire, but many will be considering it.

By that time, I am assuming that the people who are now interested in a college career that includes a major in Social Work, or for those currently in the program, there will be a lot of opportunity in the near future for us to start entering into the workforce.

On that positive note, I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

Signing Off,

Amyann
