Until you go to the scene of an accident/fire and see the body of a school kid your kids know. I think every rural fireman volunteer or otherwise has a story like that... 3 1 Link to comment

Those small town firemen responded to a very bad accident my son was in. They all knew him and were able to do their (volunteer) jobs very professionally. They also have volunteered multiple times to respond to my elderly parents. Dissing on them is where you're stretching. 3 1 Link to comment

Nah, the easiest gig is a club golf "pro". Roll in aroud 9:00 am, fold a couple of sweaters, give a lesson or two to people who never get any better, take credit for the work of the grounds crew and restaurant staff, on the course by noon for a "playing lesson", then leave the course at 4. Do that for eight months a year and overwinter in Scottsdale. Just check their hands if you don't believe me. 1 1 Link to comment

I used to work at a golf course when I was a kid, the pro was an old dude who dressed the part but other than that, he was sort of an a$$ and his day looked so boring! The lessons he had to give looked miserable. 1 Link to comment

Golf pros don't make a lot of $ unless they are selling a ton of merchandise at the course or sell a lot of lessons. Dealing with membership at a big, local club would be a total pain in the a$$.

It is one of those gigs that every golfer wants (and to be on the tour), then you get it and realize that you no longer even get to golf for the most part and you are just managing a pro shop.

Maybe rural firemen, but all of the ones in my area employed by the city's they live in are definitely paid. Paid for little to no work (which the one's I knowopenly admit to). I'm fine with it. Easy money is the best money. Link to comment
