I like helping people, and I think that due to my circumstances I would be able to understand more and be more empathetic towards the people I help once I (hopefully) complete my studies.

I hope working as a social integrator will make me feel fulfilled. Wish me luck.

Good luck Comrade! Out of curiosity where does one get started with that kind of work?

    I guess I'm asking where do you go for training as a social integrator and who hires social integrators, or is it volunteering? You said you were studying, is it self guided or are you in school?

    It's official education, here in Spain the course is called "Formación profesional de grado superior en integración social" I'm going private education (so I can study from home), though it isn't too expensive as it is in the US as we have a functional public education system private schools have to compete with. I have no idea what the equivalent of Formación profesional is in other countries.

    Hope that helps!

    Edit: Oh and yeah it is an actual job, at least I see it sometimes while scrolling through employment apps. (I forgor that part of the question lol)

    Is this called being a 'social worker' in English? If so, I wish you all the best! Social workers are quite mistreated and underpaid in the US despite playing such important roles in the community. I hope you find an org that actually cares about its social workers, and adequately supports you as you help others.
