With all due respect, I could not disagree with you more. Volunteering to perform a duty for your community has nothing to do with financial compensation that individuals receive for the performance of their chosen career and everything to do what is a basic human value – the desire to help others with your skills and time. The countless number of hours that Scout Leaders, Emergency Service Responders, Big Brother/Sister, school mentors and hundreds, no thousands of other job descriptions, are not valued less by society, in fact I would argue are valued more, for they are from the heart. Individuals motivated to volunteer in their communities are the heart and soul of that community, the unsung heroes, they represent the noblest of attributes, the desire to help others, for nothing more than the knowledge it is the right thing to do. This, in no way diminishes the dedication or value of those individuals who perform these tasks as a chosen career, for they too often are undervalued in terms of their compensation. Pete
