I have seen, however, many hardworking Social Workers and Teachers that don't get nearly what they are worth.

In my neck of the woods, an ACSW is going to make a whole lot more than any teacher in my neck of the woods.
However, I have always noted... our society's "value" on a job has nothing to do with the impact that people doing that job have on society as a whole. It only has to do with who brings money into the economy. When I'm King of the World, that will change. However, day care workers and nursing aides in nursing homes are two of the lowest paid groups of people out there. They ensure the well being of our kids and our parents.
How's that for family values?
