It says they are probation officers. My cousin is a social worker. She has a Master’s degree and she’s practically a volunteer for the kind of pay she gets. Must be a labor of love.
There’s nothing wrong a labor of love. If your goal is probation officer or social work, it’s wonderful that you’re doing what you love. I think most people would be happy to enjoy their jobs, many don’t. But you can’t willingly educate yourself for a career you know in advance is on the lower paying end and then complain that you can’t live on the lower paying end.
