A Dirty Job, But Somebody Has to Do It

Yes, there is plenty of work out there for those who don’t mind getting their hands dirty. Not all work is paid, you know. Unpaid internships can be an important stepping-stone for college students looking to enter the world of employment. Volunteering is a great way to sharpen existing skills and learn new ones; it also provides excellent opportunities for networking and, of course, brings many benefits to your community.

And let’s not forget about donning spandex and a mask and using your special powers to fight crime. The job doesn’t pay, but it’s very rewarding.

What’s that, you say? That doesn’t happen? Nobody really does that?

Guess again, my friends…

And, here, check this one out.

Okay, Knight Warrior’s heart is in the right place and all, and I have no inclinations towards super-villianhood (and in fact I’ve never even been in a fight as an adult), but I want to go on record saying that I’m pretty sure I could break this guy in half. Also, doesn’t it sound like his Mum is describing something other than learning that her son is a superhero?

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

One more. I kinda like these guys…

Phoenix Jones has a great look. He needs to work on the superhero vocal delivery, though. (BTW, Phoenix, little tip for you: protecting your secret identity requires not letting these seemingly insignificant biographical details slip out. Just sayin’.) Buster shouldn’t talk at all — it totally blows the image. Interesting that Red Dragon has never even had to draw his sword. The commanding presence is enough — just like Batman striking fear into the hearts of criminals.

I don’t know about you, but I’m going to sleep better tonight knowing that…

…um…

…my neighborhood is a generally low-crime area.
