If you lack the skills and demeanour to be a good McDonald's cashier, someone gets the wrong hamburger.
If you lack the skills and demeanour to be a good 911 operator, someone dies.
There has to be a higher standard here.


I would never be able to do that kind of job. I just don't have the patience and people skills to do it. Heck, I don't think I could even do a full week of answering calls. I do admire the people who are SUITED to work at 9-1-1 centres for their tireless efforts. The world needs people like them.
