Great Job

So the other night I met two people who had possibly two of the greatest jobs ever. One is a pilot and the other is crew on the UN cargo planes. They are the ones that make sure the food drops land on the X and provide necessities for people in conflict zones where trucks can't make it in.

The part I find interesting, their not in it for the good of what they are doing, they are in it for the money.

Apparently flying in regions where you can be shot at pays well.

It takes me back to Helen Fielding's Checklist for aid workers:
A. Mercenary
B. Missionary
C. Misfit
D. Broken Hearted

Everyone out here falls into one of these categories.
