Working on it
Legal assistant actually. I'd agree, except our social workers aren't paid enough to really even satisfy someone with a Bachelor's degree. Oklahoma really manages its finances horribly. A good example are the school *DISTRICTS* that have 40 kids, a principle and his staff and a superintendant and their staff as well -- then another school 5 miles down the road with the same situation (I'm not exaggerating at all) Oklahoma has around 500 school districts.
But our SW's in this state MIGHT get paid 25K. That kind of pay doesn't attract the best people, bless their little hearts.
