Youth worker here: How much fucking work it is to just keep things from falling apart constantly. People assume most of my work is planning and doing activities with teenagers. But a lot of the time I'm like 50% caretaker.
Your field is chronically under staffed, right?
It's probably not going to change until the workers stop thinking they're doing this to help people and start realizing that they also have a job to live off themselves. This goes for most health and care related professions here in Germany. Bad pay and very long hours, many in the field still think that exploiting yourself is virtuous.
Common sense tells you that people get paid in relation to what importance their job has or how hard it is. That's not the case though, people get paid what they can be paid.
Entropy is a real monster that rarely is part of the forward thinker. It is great to understand it as a young person, it will make you a master of your trade when you reach the leadership spaces
