[Publib] Monday thoughts on Sunday

[Nann Blaine Hilyard]

The most versatile/eclectic combination of career choices I've come across were those of the woman who was my hairstylist when I lived in Fargo.  Misty did hair; trained horses and taught riding; gave piano lessons;  and was getting a degree in graphic design.  (And her boyfriend was a commercial pilot.)

In your commentary I read the same disdain for white collar workers as they are accused of expressing towards blue collar work.  I believe that white collar work generally offers greater potential for financial success and what parent wouldn't want that opportunity for their children and wouldn't encourage them in that direction.  As an example, I don't see any prejudice within myself.  In fact some of my best friends are tradesmen and women. ;-)   The lack of desire to do a particular type of work has nothing to do with an aversion to work in general.


Myself, I don't have a single career interest so if I could wave a magic wand and assume the skills that would qualify me for other types of work, sure I might go for it on a lark - landscape architect, architect, attorney, mapmaker, professional athlete.  But I do love what I'm doing now.
