Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The pay is mediocre, the work is stressful and the hours are long. So what, if anything, should be done to encourage good social service workers to stay in the profession? One man thinks hard, cold cash might do the trick — and he’s set up a Baltimore-based foundation to find and reward those who excel in his former profession. We’ll explore this reward system and discuss the state of social work in the United States.
Guests
- Steve Butz Founder and Chairman of the Board, Superstar Foundation
