DCF is a difficult place to work. States keep placing hiring freezes, funds are being cut. States are hiring ppl w/ an English/Lit degree to do the work of social workers. An ideal case load for a social worker in DCF is 17, when I left in 2004 the average was 32 in the state I resided.
It's the hint of arsenic that gives it that extra kick.
