>We choose to put ourselves in harms way for the sake of others.
You don't get paid? If you are getting compensation, then you're not doing it for the sake of others.
>Heroic, right?
Nope! No more heroic then the gas station attendant who puts his life on the line every single night so that others can fill up their cars.
I would say that the gas station attendant is a hero to his family, in that he does put his life on the line to feed, clothe and shelter them. And I am sure your family feels the same way about you!
- JshWright 11y agoI am compensated as a paramedic. I volunteer as a firefighter. However, my compensation as a paramedic is $16/hr, which isn't awful (at least it's more than minimum wage), but I certainly don't do it for the money... The money that feeds my family comes from work as a software developer. There are a variety of reasons why I do what I do. A desire to help others is certainly one of those reasons. Did you just stop reading after "Heroic, right?" The very next word was "No"...
