Social workers can certainly get caught up in this nasty system and lose track of what's important, but they don't get rich doing it!

I'm not sure how the OP meant it BUT I know that where I am the SWs DO DO THINGS for the MONEY... Not that THEY make money - but to save the state money.
They will move children and place them into relative homes that aren't ideal because then they no longer have to have a SW or provide foster care subsidies - therefore saving the state money.
I've had a local SW even admit to me this is what they're instructed to try to do. ESPECIALLY if it's an out of state relative because then the other state picks up welfare too.
