Since the late 1980’s, the author has flitted and fluttered merrily from job to job like some sort of hippie butterfly - a carefree gypsy workman whose occupational compass has been largely magnetized by the awestruck wonder of John Denver at one pole and the laid-back vibes of Jimmy Buffett at the other. In spite of the multitudes of people who view their jobs as drudgery, the author has always gloried in the experimentation of different workplaces with a similar fascination as the curious child who pokes at strange objects with a stick. Now in his fifties, the author has finally settled on a single career (he thinks). This book is his journey to occupational enlightenment.
