To volunteer implies you are already well off enough to have housing and food, thus have the luxury of being able to donate your time to volunteering.

- dls2016 5y agoBe my guest, go to a small town fire hall and see how “well off” the volunteers are compared to the median HN poster.
- GaryTang 5y agoI have been. Not one of them are forced to be firefighters. They volunteer
- stickfigure 5y ago...and FYI, those volunteers get to pick and choose which calls they respond to. Not sure what axe you're grinding, but I'm glad you don't live in my district.
- GaryTang 5y agoIf there was a scale representing job difficulty — firefighter would be among the lowest difficult. I can respect those that volunteer but the ones who are career have no sympathy from me seeing that they are easily in the top 5% of society for doing something that 80% of us can do.
