note: not a vent post- just something i was thinking about the other day. I'm pretty happy with how I'm doing in life :)
i love teaching and have had several tutor jobs, but teachers are treated like absolute dog water in my country (and in most other countries, i assume) with horrible pay. i basically have to do CS to make enough money to support some family members later on in life. it's not even that I'd want some incredible pay for being a teacher, I'd just need a guarantee my family would be taken care of.
post how your career would be different under socialism.
If you mean within the US, a lot of it is done by FEMA which is now a part of the DHS so not much better. The Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity also do a lot of the less-immediate disaster relief work although their chain of command is typically through FEMA at some level.
A lot of electrical and tree-care trades will put you in the loop for disaster relief since a lot of those folks hoof it down to disasters to do cleanup since it pays really well.
