The P factor

As promised the "P" factor is any job that starts with a "P".  Now with that said it excludes the six figure jobs that start with a "P". It was meant for pilots (excluding major airlines) paramedics, police etc... As you may have guessed I am both police and a paramedic and between them both I am still under the six figure range. I was introduced to the "P" factor while flying in a medical helicopter and my pilot and I were in a decent conversation on the outbound leg, meaning going to get the sick person, and we named countless professions of importance that get paid minimal for their services, thus was ever known as the "P" factor. I learned a lot from that man. I flew countless miles with him in charge of my flight and he is a true American. His Pilot skills were superb. He raised his family and sent his children to college all on the "P" factor salary. He has since retired from the medical pilot aspect and has moved on like the rest of have. It's so amazing what our lives bring and what man kind can do for another human and the marks people make on each other.

  1. P factor, E factor (educator factor)...it's all the same in the under-factor... Under-appreciated, under-paid, misunderstood...but- I wouldn't give up my E factor job
    for any other factor & I suspect you wouldn't either. And many yeah's for the lack of dipping in your life.
