I hate to break it to you, mang, but I'm ridiculously underpaid since I'm still in school and I still net much more than $800 in a month.

And as far as the handicapped policy...

I'm one of the directors for my resort's Emergency Rapid Response team (we're the first to get called if there is a fire, etc). Anyway, we have 6 buildings on our property. I'm responsible for a 20-story tower that is host to about 1200 at full capacity. Evacuating that building is a bitch when we have advanced warning and time to get it done (hurricane evacs) but evacuating for a fire is insane. Got way off topic there, but the reason I said all that was to get to the reason that you leave the handicapped folks behind. It's a liability issue. If you are assisting them in escaping from the fire and they are harmed in any way while being assisted, they can sue you or your organization. You'd think the Good Samaritan law would protect you, but technically you are doing something that is outside your skill level. Therefore you are unprotected. I would personally be protected because I was trained by the Fire Department on emergency high-rise evacuations, but most of my staff has not had that training.
