Social Service - Thoughts
I was curious to know what LG's opinions are about the concepts of social service. Do you like to help the community out, or just keep to yourself? Do you participate in fundraisers and other such events to help out the less fortunate?
IMHO it's something that has to come from the heart. Sure you can participate and help out, but it doesn't feel the same unless you're the one wanting to try and make a difference. I work in a government hospital, and thus I get to help out the poorest of the poor, who cannot afford private medical care. Sometimes they can't even pay the nominal fee required for certain investigations, and I've helped them by paying for it out of my own pocket. What can sour in my stomach is better off going to help the people who actually need it. It's probably because our whole family was born altruistic, but I digress. It might not pay as much as a position in a private hospital overall, but I still get enough money for a decent living.
Discuss.
