basically lightly trained adults supervising and organizing games and playtime and crafts etc.

That sounds like a fun job. Is the pay shit?

I would doubt it. Shit even in Sweden pay for working at McDonald's is pretty solid.

You'd be wrong, you can be paid shit in Sweden too. But then you usually pay lower taxes too, so maybe it evens out. Thanks to social system and healthcare included it is still better than in the US though.

Some days I feel lucky to be born in Canada; some days I don't.

By Swedish standards yes. It's a typical retirement job, most working long term are 50+ and tired of their old career track. The other portion of staff are young people just done with school in some care profession but hasn't yet found a steady job in their field.

Of course there are people that work there all their life but it's the exception in my experience.

I'd say in the rural areas the pay is sufficient, but in the major cities it's not, too much has to go to rent or you need to commute for way too long.
