The really sad thing is the people drawn to social work are the ones who needed a social worker at some point in their past. The rates are shit, they're unappreciated and they're essentially powerless… yet the line stretches around the block for people wanting the gig.

I made more hourly as a 3rd-year undergrad mechanical engineering intern than my GF did with a cum laude degree from the best MSW program in the United States. The people doing that gig? They really want to do that gig.
