Could it be that the dedication and enthusiasm of LC's is due to this being
a "new" profession?  Therefore, most of the people that are in it are there
because they really believe in the issues.  Most are here by choice and had
to strive to overcome obstacles (training, practice hours, acceptance,
recognition, etc.) to achieve the LC position wherever they hold it.  We are
still the pioneers of Lactation Consulting.

I took a college course on HIV/AIDS when I was working on my BS, and a
requirement was to give 10 volunteer hours to a community organization.  I
worked at AIDS Rochester.  That was the most satisfying environment to work
in because everyone who was there was committed to the cause.  There was
enthusiasm, energy, ideas, activity, and cooperation!

People believing in a cause and working for it are a powerful force that is
wonderful to behold!
