What's wrong about it? I can only praise a person who has generational wealth and doesn't need to work, yet chose the socially beneficial occupation of a social worker (which is neither well-paid nor, let's be honest, well-respected, but necessary job), to do their part?

It's all trust. This is what makes this hard, and you can see here no one has experience in this field so everyone has a dumb ass comment.
A lot of people regardless of status will still try to have pride. I used to help homeless people and they would often have a lot of trust issues and often prefer to be homeless rather than help.
While a social worker may dress up and drive a nice car because they have money, the poor people they are helping don't have trust in them for many reasons. One is that they have nothing, and then they see someone that wants to help and that person is getting richer while they are getting poorer.
Same reason people get miffed at donating to the United way only to find out the CEO was making something like 750k a year and asking me to donate 10% of my pay automatically deducted to them. Lol
