In Los Angeles they get approx $80,000 and a nice fat pension and get to keep their job after 50% of the students end up not able to read their diploma at graduation.
My daughter had a job as a counselor for a local juvenile detention facility with decent pay and bennies. As long as they were working with local girls, mostly those who were runaways, prostitutes, casual drug users and the like, she enjoyed the job and was doing a lot of good.
The facility was growing a great reputation for turning kids lives around and getting kids out of the place and into a normal life.
Then one of the smart@$$ed MBAs running the place thought it would be good marketing to advertise to Philadelphia and other cancerous areas of our Commonwealth who then started sending in hard-core drug dealers, hoodlums and gang bangers.
My daughter and several others like her had no choice but to leave because (a)it became an unsafe work environment and (b)they signed on as counselors, not prison guards.
