Ever noticed how trends appear and vanish only to return again? Many times when they make a return the teen generation feels that they have made something new. If the past trend is shown to them they are going to point out some modification that sets the new trend apart. In my type of work we see trend go and go also. I've been in the social work field long enough that I have seen many trends come, go, and return. The return frequently has a novel development or spin to it, but it's still a recycled idea. As with cultural trends the people deliberating new services don't wish to be reminded this has been around before. As the presidency agencies manage changes the legislature makes them available to the general public, that setting is far more political.

Non profit affiliations can select which service program areas which will serve ; they don't need to provide services for all populations. They most provide, or contract with an agency that may, services to all voters that meet the standards for the services that are published by the legislature.

For huge urban counties this isn't a problem because there are numerous service suppliers including non profit affiliations that are available to service clients. The govt. social service agencies are smaller and many of the non profit affiliations are not able to find staff that's prepared or taught to deliver services. The result's that many people in rustic areas must travel a great distance to get services or go without them. When I worked for presidency agencies I was paid higher salary, but I also had a good deal of responsibility. I wished to know many areas of social work because I may be asked to switch job requirements at any point to help the agency meet remitted service areas. In working for the non profit affiliations the speed is slower and job obligations remain consistent, however the pay is lower. I've found that I'd rather have the lower rate of pay and more time to give to clients instead of having a higher wage and more paperwork needs. It is getting annoying when the law makers bring back programs which have been attempted and failed by putting a new name on them and passing their administering as law. I don't miss having to clarify to clients why the services they were receiving have changed or are cut.
