I work at a shelter for young people (12-17yo) who can't live at home. They only stay temporarily with us, until there is another instance found.

I really like getting to meet a lot of people, lots of destinies. I work in a great team with a great boss. We have lots of free time in our work hours, because they're still youthsters, so they meet friends, meet family, etc.

We work shifts, which means sometimes I have to work on weekends, on holidays (not my vacations tho). Also sometimes the kids are not very easy. Sometimes they are the reason they can't stay at home because they are aggressive, they take drugs at 14yo, they are criminals.
