Social Workers SHOULD make a lot of cash too, but like teachers, and any other "helping" profession, we are traditionally not valued in our society
. If we were, we would be making a decent living wage. We also have to go through A LOT of schooling (and not easy stuff either!!) but still, so many people even in our profession who have not gone through grad school call themselves Social Workers, and my personal favorite "therapists", but they really shouldn't for obvious reasons. I only hope that one day those of us in the helping professions can finally be paid what we are worth.
