I second this offer. (edit) err... I mean I also offer to trade. I guess I made it sound like I was agreeing that Method doesn't get paid well.

Sure the Marine Corps paid me dog food, fucked me over constantly and generally abused me and my comrades on a near daily basis but... it mattered. In lives saved and blood bonds formed it mattered.
I want that back.

That's what keeps pulling me back into the public sector. I really like the emphasis that gets placed on quality in the private sector and the "good enough" mentality that gets applied to processes in the public sector really grates on me. However, the feeling that you're doing something that means a difference to people's lives is important.
Perhaps you should consider running for public office. While your values are somewhat different to mine, you're the sort of person who I really enjoy seeing in politics. You strike me as the sort of person whose principles aren't easily swayed by comfort and expedience.

The puns are OK, but it's the Claireface that really brightened my day.
Is it cold in here?:

Do EMTs need healthy legs? Any emergency room jobs you could feasibly train for? Going a bit afield, vet tech for a horse doctor?
GarandMarine:
EMTs need VERY healthy legs, I mean you have to run from the truck to the patient, and lift the patient onto the gurney amongst other physical tasks. If I was physically able to accomplish the basic tasks of an EMT or Paramedic, I'd still be in the service.
As far as politics goes... I doubt political office would suite me much.
