It's not just business when you're talking about the lives of children though. It's not like I work at a restaurant or at some store. I care for people's children. I am responsible for their safety and well-being and early education! And the kids I work with need a hell of a lot more than the kids at the other place. The other place is connected with a university and is very expensive with no scholarships or sliding scale option, so only kids from well-off families go there. Where I work, 85% of the kids have their tuition paid by DSS. I have multiple kids that have multiple therapists (speech, occupational, physical etc), have one kid that is very much neglected at home and has major attachment issues...these kids are the ones that my heart really goes out to because the other kids are so privileged already, they don't need the extra loving and the extra help (in general).
