Re:City jobs are a bad thing? (Score 1)

I used to be a city lifeguard as a teen, and I understand your comments about prevention. Girls would ask me at parties how many people I had saved (meaning immediately drowning). My answer was always "none". Usually this would get blank-stares as they could not comprehend that if I did my job correctly, I would never face that situation. Prevention was the key. Luckily we had more than enough female guards (that understood prevention) and weren't ashamed to show off their bodies in bikinis and tank tops (or less!) to make up for the loss of bimbos that couldn't quite get it. I had a lot of training for emergencies, just like the police do. However prevention is the largest part of the job. As exciting as it may be to ask a policemen you know how many people they have shot, if they say zero, they were likely doing their jobs correctly.
