i am a social worker. i work with chronically mentally ill homeless and/or marginally housed adults. i drive them to doctors appointments, to monthly meetings with their probation officers, to the grocery store, and anywhere else they want to go. i am a personal assistant to people that scream profanity at me and threaten me on a regular basis. i organize the lives of crack heads, prostitutes, registered sex offenders, and paranoid schizophrenics. in essence, i have the worst job imaginable. the best part? i do not even like people. i realize that my being a social worker might lead you to believe otherwise, but you would be wrong. i do not like people. good thing i have this degree in being social. the other best part? i get paid a mere $32,000 to do my job. i am thankful everyday that i spent all of that money getting this masters degree.
as a broke social worker, i am constantly looking for ways to make more money. just last week a client offered me this great money-making scheme. he plans to get together a group consisting of him and his sex offender buddies to move into a house in a neighborhood. they will then advertise that they are sex offenders, therefore driving down property values, therefore making people move, thereby allowing him and his friends to buy homes. they will do this in various neighborhoods continuously, until they become real estate moguls. donald trumps with parole officers and a penchant for children. genius. all he wants from me is to front the initial down payment.
i'm in.
