You have no idea what the sacrifices these jobs are, but keep reading Newsday and The Daily News to get the truth!!


Nobody forced you, in fact these jobs are sought after. You must take a test and pass to get in. Then there are politics. No doubt it is a dangerous profession. But it's choosen, with nice salary and benefits. You know what you're signing up for so don't complain. You are not the only one working holidays either, and you are being well compensated for that. Stop with the sacrifices. We all make them and you are no better than any other hard working parent.
