Ask most people what they think of when they hear the words human services, and they'll probably respond with tales of social workers counseling troubled teens or volunteers handing out meals at soup kitchens. But there are so many other careers that benefit society as a whole by helping individuals and families on a one-on-one basis. If you're looking for a soul-satisfying occupation, there are few as noble as those in human services.

Are you good with people? Do you want to help change lives? Are you a good listener? Careers in human services require these types of qualities and more. You'll also have to be ready to handle some intense situations, step into the middle of heartbreak and tragedy, and remain calm and steady.
