Isn't it you are receiving your salary by doing the work why are you asking these question my friend. Hamad is paying you for your work. For me maybe yes, maybe no. Inshallah!

Shabab I'm not talking about work.What I mean is are you willing to volunteer that may risk your life, like being a volunteer firefighter, EMS, or with the peace corps...

Of course. I already am a volunteer firefighter and EMT. There is nothing that I enjoy doing more than running calls when the tones drop. There is not a more rwarding feeling in any field.

Risk is foot steps of success. If I can do some thing great on cost of rist of my life I would try to do it well.

Honestly, no. I have my kids and my husnamd to leave behind if I die. If the situatuion asks for it, risking my life, yes I'd do it. But for me to voluntarily offer my service, say be a policeman or firefighter, I wouldn't do it.

I work as a Paramedic and volunteer for a Heavy Rescue Squad. It seems sometime that yes I am taken for granted and I get no recognition but if thats what I did it for I would be miserable. I do it for my community and for the brotherhood of life long friends i have made. If you ever have the opportunity thnan I suggest you try, its amazing what a simple thank you can mean.

Being a volunteer firefighter, EMT, Paramedic, etc. isn't for everyone and I certainly respect those who don't have the calling for it. As for me, I truly enjoy being able to help someone out and offer hope and help in the middle of a crisis. I don't do it for pay, and probably never will. Doing something completely different than what i get paid for is very enjoyable, and knowing I might have helped someone through a hard time is a great reward.

I would and I do. I am a paid EMT-I but I respond on my off time to help and I also am a VOLUNTEER firefighter. I love my job and I get satisfaction out of knowing that I have helped someone.
