C.I.T.O.K.A.T.E.

I can't speak to Michigan in particular, but my experience with conrunning in general has been the opposite: that unhappy, overworked, underpaid people often *do* enjoy volunteering, specifically because they can get a lot of the satisfaction that they aren't getting from their mundane work lives from volunteering at cons.

Now I'm curious as to whether areas with poor economies find it easier or harder to recruit volunteers.
