True, so I'll take a shot at it. PC is a small, self-selecting group with a decent percentage of people that are adventure seeking do-gooders. If you make it through training there there is a very high probability that you are adaptable, self-motivated, and able to integrate into a new culture. If you make it to your post (most likely after a three day ride in a bus slightly bigger than an ice cream truck with a goat on your lap) you have shown a lot of courage and perseverance. If you are still at your post two (or three) years later then you have developed patience and humility. None of these things may make you "better" than anyone else, but they are traits that distinguish you for the rest of your life.
- larrys 14y agoThe problem is that a large percentage of the world isn't that way. So it might not be the best survival strategy once you are back in the real world among normals and their problems and back stabbing. Unless you are from a rich family and lead a life where money isn't as important.
- theorique 14y agoRich family or not, money is not as important as following your passion and doing something you love.
- larrys 14y ago"following your passion and doing something you love" Unfortunately you simply can't consider that w/o taking into account money as part of the decision. While some people might be able to live off the grid w/o normal comforts (and without access to healthcare whereby the rest of us pay when they go to the ER which has to treat them) not everyone could live like that.
- theorique 14y agoYeah, it's not always a simple solution. And money is a factor even when people wish it weren't.
