Why not para? 1) I'm looking to get out of the job. 2) I love my crewmate and my station - I'd have to change both if I became a para. 3) I've done enough learning in my life, the thought of sitting in a classroom again for something medical fills me with boredom. 4) All that extra hassle for an extra £1 an hour or so? no thanks. 5) I have enough hate in my life without bringing in the HPC. 6) Becoming a relief again - no thanks! 7) Doing para the old fashioned way, only for the only route of progression being a degree. So yeah, I'm a stick in the mud but likewise I can't remember the last time my para crewmate needed to reach into her bag.
