[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Social worker - totally regret it. I grew up lower middle class at best so when I learned about starting salaries in the 70s for SWs I thought I'd be rich (since my parents never made that kind of money). Of course once I graduated with debt and actually started working I realized what a horrible grind it is, how disrespected and undervalued we are, and wish I would have aimed higher. [/quote] Haha yeah another LMC worker who thought a salary of $60k would be amazing, that’s more than my parents ever made combined![/quote] +3. I did not, it turns out, have a great understanding of housing costs, childcare costs etc and thought 60k sounded decent. Anyway, started a new career in finance at 30 and it was worth it to make the transition. [/quote]
