Question:

Along with being majorly underpaid, child welfare workers are also putting their lives, relationships, and careers at risk by working with children who are sufferers and victims of child abuse. “Working under emotionally stressful circumstances, the average annual income for Child Protective Services workers is $35,553 which is $10,570 less than that of a teacher” (Miller et. al, 2013). Teachers and CPS workers dedicate a significant amount of their time and effort, as well as invest their emotions every single day. Do you think the annual incomes of these two fundamental roles are a reflection of being unappreciated and undervalued? Why or why not?
