Not a medical ?: health care is changing priorities are not usually in health reimbursement . Sports media and "stars" gain wealth. One day those in power might realize we are an important part of life not just a "right" ie universal health care. Keep doing what you do its important. maybe $$$ will follow

Unfortunately not: Like most jobs that are driven by free market wages, since the die has been cast with wages in the present setting, it's unlikely to see any drastic changes to average social worker wages.
