Would you want to work with homeless people?

More specifically, finding them a place to live?

Ive been ofered a job doing just that. But I have so many questions since I interviewed the other day.

I'm nervous about the job. What if the people have behavior problem and are irate or beligerant?

I was told that I may have to transport people periodically in my own car. Then manager says I won't have to. She said she never has and has worked there 5 years. And I thought " well yeah, you're the manager"

Your thoughts?

It sounds like you are open to the idea of helping homeless people as long as you won't be inconvenienced, don't have to come in contact with them or smell them, and depending on the benefits.

@MarkPaul not at all. Wouldn't have applied if that was the issue. Please don't judge people you don't know. Im concerned for my safety and that's it

@iamnikki Honey, we're online and all any of us have to go by is the words we type. And, to suggest we not draw any conclusions (which includes judgement calls) based on those words is a bit mysterious and disingenuous.

What I get from your latest words is...

So, you're willing to work with them from behind a protective glass window like they have at a bank... for your own safety, of course.

@MarkPaul I don't know why you're being sarcstic . I don't think you've been this way before with me. But it doesn't matter. you're just another faceless internet user.

@iamnikki Because you are not being honest. Thanks for sharing your [u]judgment[/u] of me. See how it works?
