Volunteering pays off

[Texas Aggie]

Sounds great. I like to volunteer, but usually not at things I get paid to do. Perhaps it sounds strange, but I'd rather volunteer coach the special olympics (as I have done) than just go out there one day a year and ref it. I usually don't volunteer my professional services either -- or at least not intentionally! But I'll go help someone redo their bathroom in a pinch, although they may regret asking.
