Teachers get used every school day, all day. Firefighters in areas where there are a low number of events very much not so.

What are your feelings about being on call as a software developer because software incidents don’t often happen at night? Would you expect to be paid for it? Or at least a higher than $0 salary?
Do you feel like these volunteers are being taken advantage of or something?

I doubt they do... they all have jobs and lives otherwise, they can simply not do the thing.

Compared to the firefighters where I use to live making $80K a year in Forsyth?
Full time job?
