Tanner.I am completely dumbfounded by the people who say they envy your job.When you write about it I can't imagine much I'd hate more than that. But that's the point, the reason you NEED to be doing what you're doing. Most of us couldn't take it. Most of us couldn't stand dealing with much of the bull#### you do. In order to do that, you have to be dedicated. You have to be good at what you do. You have to care.Sure, there are people in your profession that don't have that. Take my brother...please. There are people who are narcissistic or lazy or both or worse, and enter the field for the wrong reasons. And there are plenty of people that think you're overpaid or underworked or whatever. But do you think that's different from most other professions? I'm a lawyer, for chrissakes. We have Hamline graduates and others bringing us down, and we're only slightly above used-car salesmen on the respect scale. It's not to make light of your situation, but everyone hates everyone, when it comes down to it, often with good reason.So when you get to what's important, to me it's that, as Donna Summer or Cicely Tyson said, the children are our future. By that, I mean that we are a country and a world full of really stupid people, and if folks like you leave the profession, we become even more stupid in future generations. As I get older and even less patient, if I have to get behind people who are even more stupid in the ATM line, I'm likely to become like the face-eating guy in Miami. And really do we need more non-consensual face-eating in this world?Seriously, we need good people, smart people, caring people like you to do what you do. It's just about the hardest job I can think of, one that the vast majority of us couldn't do. Since as I understand it, you get about 16 months off per year, couldn't you use your down time to do something that would add to the family coffers in a meaningful way? I'd think where you are that there are such opportunities, or of course there's Nicaraguan real estate management.
