I have a friend (more a friend of a friend) that has a masters in social work and he is a social worker. He has a very nice home, wife and kids and leads a nice lifestyle but this is done with family money. One of his near relatives founded a company bought out by Berkshire Hathaway. He says that you wouldn’t believe the family cases that he deals with and I certainly agree with that statement.

Our state has increased workloads for social workers over the last two decades and they are not paid well for some tough, tough work. I would advise my kids to count the cost before entering this line of work. They might want to do it anyways but they should realize that it isn’t an easy line of work.
