1. Speaking to a job-hunting class of out-of-work people: young man says he's willing to work for anyone except an oil company or someone who makes bad things like nuclear stuff (almost a verbatim quote.)
2. Hubby accosted in hotel by an Americorps volunteer who sees his oil company employee badge and says "Eeew - you work for an oil company."
Wow! I applaud their idealism but wonder if they have a clue...I'm amazed that a 20-year old is in a position to say 'I won't work for them because they're mean.' Aside from being terribly uninformed, I don't see a lot of high-paying jobs at the hemp shirt factory! Much less advancement - what, you can move from sewing buttons to stitching collars?
I still love my husband's answer to number 2 - "Yes I do, and before that, I played with nuclear warheads!"
Hoorah
