I admire civil servants

What profession do you admire most and why?

Civil servants are the face, hands and feet of government. They put themselves at our disposal before they see us. Who would not admire such devotion? Uninformed agitators, ungrateful manipulators and pork-barrelers.

Ignorant people call them names and some may deserve it, but civil servants serve us even on the holidays. Civil servants do their work regardless of who forms the government, regardless of what we look like, regardless of how uninformed we are, and they are happiest when we leave with a smile they caused.
