Inspiring post. Thank you. I met a high-school student today (16) studying to be an ecologist. I asked her if she was jealous of the money that less difficult and less noble pursuits offered. Her answer,
"I could care less about money. I'd work for free if I thought it would help the world".
I was so stunned to hear this from a Vegas born/raised 16 year old girl, I still haven't recovered.
There may be hope for us all yet.
Good night all...
