Why are social workers are so important?

Answer

Society is so screwed up. Children wandering around on barren streets all times of the days and nights, parent fighting, drinking and or using drugs, these people need help, the children need help, that's why Social Workers are so badly needed. I can't say for the States as to how well they are paid, but in Canada where I live, they don't make much and don't last long on the job. They see more misery in a month than most people see in a life time.

This is a very thankless proffession to be in. It takes a good person, with a kind heart to do this kind of job.
