There is something fundamentally wrong about how we determine what an hour of a human life is worth (or an hour of any particular job). For example, sanitation workers get paid jack shit. Apparently we'd rather be up to our eyeballs in our own feces rather than pay them more and some admin somewhere (or even the admin that works in the same field) a little less. How much would I have to pay you to handle my refuse, and biological waste? How much to handle the refuse and waste of an entire city 12 to 14 hours a day 7 days a week? Don't forget the hypos people love to leave in their trashcans or throw in the gutter.
(hint: minimum wage or less in most cases, and just forget about insurance, benefits, or overtime. Unless of course you belong to a union, if that's even an option in whatever state or jurisdiction you live in.)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
