Do you want one of those "cushy jobs"? Just curious. I have only done a little cursory ALPA work.. (Family Awareness neighborhood coordinator for those that remember that), and even THAT was not what I would consider "cushy". Statements like yours exhibit a clear lack of clue about the amount of work that those folks do. I do not refer to those in the head shed as "volunteers" because they are getting paid via trip drops and such, but I am sure that if you convert their time to an hourly rate, you would be amazed at how little they are really paid compared to the rest of us. Cushy jobs... that's rich.
