Every job has risks but I think Barry's job is very dangerous. He is a brave man. yes I think the risk is worth it, he is going to learn very important things.

From Corey at 19:43:21 on 09/16/95:

The knowlege he gains could very well be used to do severak things. The first is get a better understanding of how volcanoes work. Once he understands that we will be able to better predict when it is close to an eruption. With this knowlege, one can now have the island safely evacuated before any human harm is done. The same knowlege can also be taken and applied to other communities that are also potentially affected by volcanoes.

I think it isn't worth it because every day he has a chance of loosing his life. His life is more important than his knowledge.

Nah, the risk he takes it way too big!

From Paul Coddington at 16:58:06 on 03/05/96:

I think that's for him to decide. If he is so interested in what he's doing that he's willing to assume these risks, then good for him. He is no different than an astronaut or even a rock climber - they love what they do and are willing to take some risk to enjoy it. And the knowledge he gains may help to predict eruptions in the future, thus saving many lives.

If he doesn't get singed in the process it'd be a great job.

This is a demonstration of VitalZines for Benesse.

From Gary Markovits at 14:58:37 on 05/24/96:

This is a demonstration, I really don't have anything to say about Barry VOIGHT.

From Gary Markovits at 15:06:30 on 05/30/96:

I think Barry is very brave, but I also think he takes a lot of risk in his job. He is the one that must decide if it is worth it.

From Denny Eaton at 18:55:03 on 05/31/96:

I think it is dsangerous but necessary to understanding the earth we live on and why it changes

From Chris at 20:32:52 on 06/26/96:

Sure

From Paul Coddington at 11:39:09 on 07/15/96:

The risks he takes are worth it because the knowledge he gains may save lives in the future.
