On a serious note, the starting pay is terrible for the things a case worker will witness. Even in California, the starting pay is around $40k, 1st year is a trainee. This isn't a field for a lot of people because of the abuse and neglect you witness and it'll stick with you.
Your case load will always be higher than the expected amount without the increase in pay to compensate.
