I don’t have enough scratch for changing careers yet. I was thinking I’d like to be a greeter at Wal-Mart. I have a friend at work who took a part-time job as a cocktail waitress just for the hoot of it. She didn’t need the money, it was just a fun way to meet people. The isolation of the lab was a little too much, I guess.
I thought she was insane. Nutty as a mad hatter.
Some of us discover our career changes arriving when our employers determine that our obsolete job skills don't warrant their continued support.
