I wasn’t called until I became disabled. 35 years on the job and not once did they call me to serve.

Truly bizarre. My Dad served five times in 20 years; my wife three times in 10 years.

I worked as a legal secretary, and at one time if you were in the lawyer business or anything related thereto, you were unlikely to be called. Now they call anyone; however, being in the field you are less likely to actually serve. You have to spend a whole day waiting around, and if you aren’t selected for a jury, they send you home. At one time, it was worse; used to have to hang around sometimes for a week or more.

And where I live, the compensation rate is $9 per day plus 7 cents a mile for travel. I think this was the same compensation paid about a hundred years ago. LOL
