I've always thought train stewards, airline attendants, etc. have the most thankless, dangerous jobs that no one thinks of as hard or dangerous. They're jobs I NEVER want.
Back when I first started here, I was urged to apply for full-time, and didn't, because you had to be willing to teach in the prisons. You didn't get a gun, or a guard in the room, you were just locked in with a bunch of the best of the inmates. Sure, in a pinch, they might even try to protect you against the less evolved, but you're still locked in, powerless except for fists, feet, and teeth, with a bunch of unpredictable, pissed off, people, most of whom are bigger and more ruthless than you are.

No thanks.
