Barrman, the "two jobs I'd never have" comment was not meant as a joke. I'm serious. I think that maybe next to "soldier" those might be the toughest jobs in America. I hear people say they'd never do my job... and trust me, it ain't hard and I get paid well.
I think it's cool that you are actually doing something that can make a difference. Sorry if that post was mocking or offensive to you. I know there is nothing better than to work with motivated people... makes work a pleasure instead of a burden. Didn't mean to be a jackass.....it just happens sometimes.
