They offer PhD’s in social welfare?
“They offer PhD’s in social welfare?”
I think the fact that they do offer them has caused the government to create a market for them. There’s no conceivable use for somebody trained in “social welfare” outside the government.
In Florida, before 1970, if you were arrested a deputy would sit with you while you made phone calls and got somebody to take your kids. Somehow, it always worked. Then we got an agency staffed with social welfare degrees (from the hippie crop then graduating) and overseeing the kids from arrested folks became their issue. We ended up with a nightmare where state social workers “oversee” 45,000 children per year from arrested people.
The social workers place the children with volunteer homes many of whom, it turns out, are child molesters. The kids are mostly warehoused several per room in private homes and trailers to the tune of roughly $2500 per month per kid per “care giver.”
Here’s the kicker. The state’s population has exploded, but the number of kids remains constant. I’m guessing that’s due to the tracking limitations. The agency has lost numerous children who were later found to be murdered.
I think we need to re-think what degrees colleges offer. The social welfare degree is for communist states.
A college degree in how to take other peoples money.
Only a leftist would need a college degree to know how to be a thief.
