Kick the Human Out

Sometimes I feel like education kicks the human out of me. I become like a walking source of theories and facts, and lack the humanity that made me want to help people in the first place.
Today I was at a meeting with some bigwigs from Lansing, it was cool. We were talking about some policies that affect the health of people in Detroit. One of Jennifer Granholm's advisors was there. He was really cool, and he genuinely cared about people. It made me think that once you leave the educational setting the humanity probably comes back. Here's hoping.

Yeah Coop. I hear you. Its hard to separate our motives for working from the necessity and want for money. Especially when we are rewarded with more money for our workaholic behaviors.
