One thing I hate about being in social work
One of our profs at NUS used to say, social workers are like professional beggars.
I hate it.
I hate it when people look down on me/ us just because we don't have money to pay them what they want. Or don't have money to pay the insane amounts of money corporate 'trainers' charge. Or think that what we have to offer is an insult.
Maybe it's because I seriously don't believe the work we do is of any less worth than what others are doing and charging. Except somehow some people think that just because we don't charge as high, our work is not as valuable.
I hate it when people look down on us. Or even those who think that we have an easy job.
