at least in the US, those jobs - doctors, cops, firefighters, first responders - are well compensated (not sure about prison guards), certainly compared to content moderators who are at the bottom of the totem pole in an org like FB

- caymanjim 2y agoWhat does compensation have to do with it? Is someone who stares at thousands of traumatizing, violent images every day going to be less traumatized if they're getting paid more?
- t-3 2y agoYes, they will be much more able to deal with the consequences of that trauma than someone who gets a pittance to do the same thing. A low-wage peon won't even be able to afford therapy if they need it.
- unaindz 2y agoAt least they can pay for therapy and afford to stop working or find another job

- BoxFour 2y agoShamefully, first responders are not well compensated - usually it's ~$20 an hour.
- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoI've lived places where the cops make $100k+. It all depends on location.
- BoxFour 2y agoSorry - I'm specifically referring to EMTs and Paramedics, who usually make somewhere in the realm of $18-25 an hour.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoYikes that’s pretty shameful.
- stickfigure 2y agoIn my district, all the firefighers are volunteers (including me). Yeah, we deal with some crappy medical calls and sometimes deaths. It's nowhere near as dramatic as the non-first-responders in this thread seem to think.
