Well we knew it wouldn't be dentists.:rofl:

As far as EMS vs police/fire you also have to look at how society views it. When most people think of a cop or firefighter they think of someone who risks their lives on a daily basis serving the public. When people think of EMS, they still feel they serve the public but you also get people...
