I've been thinking about going back to school to get a degree in Social Work so I can make a career of trying to help people instead of working of a major coorporation but looking at the salary for social worker doesn't make it easy.
Profession Average Hourly Wage
Retail Sales / Sales Clerk $12
Data Entry Clerk $13
Accounting Clerk $16
Bookkeeper $16
Truck Driver $19
Plumber $19
Carpenter $19
Electrician $20
Executive Assistant $20
Social Worker $24
Architect $26
Registered Nurse $27
Physiotherapist $27
Computer Engineer (not software) $29
Engineering Manager $35
Computer and Info Systems Manager $37
Lawyer $40
Dentist $60
The wages are from 2004 but entry level social workers would probably get even less. Why can't the Social Work occupations that help people get more, why should the Lawyer and Dentist get so much??
