Jen, you actually made me count my jobs even thought I haven’t walked the dogs yet this morning - what a revealing trip that was! I realized that work also introduces us to the values of others, good or bad. My job (#3) as grill cook in a college diner sprang to mind because I was offered $1.10/hour but paid $1.05 (this was a long time ago :). But that nickel still pisses me off and taught me the sting of being taken advantage of, and made me resolve never to do so. A much later professional job (#12) was writing for a former US President and his presidential library, from which I learned that real service lives beyond our work. Thanks
On the beauty of work
