Module 2 A Job Worth Doing 教案

you know, like economists and financial analysts and accountants. i am sure there are analysts who do not work with money, but that seems to be the primary area. i never seriously considered anything in this realm, but i did think about it briefly once. i think that at least part of the skill set of an analyst is overlaps with that of other fields, since you have to be able to look at a system, understand it, and predict its behaviour in most technically-related work. but money and business systems are very abstract, almost virtual. lately i am having a lot of trouble with anything abstract. it's all just turning into a haze of symbols. clerk yeah, no kidding, sometimes i miss just being the guy who tells you where it is on the shelf. reliable, predictable, concrete, orderly, tactile, and comprehensible. a retail store is a nice static system. and i want to distinguish a clerk, who just facilitates a purchase, from a sales person, who attempts to encourage or invent the desire for a purchase. clerks don't have stress and they don't make any money, usually not even enough to live on, unless they are at a fancier retailer like the bay or sears. there are all kinds of other jobs also called "clerk" but i have to admit i do not know anything about them. but they do have a nice, safe, routine tedium to comfort them when they feel like the world is turning upside down. everybody needs some level of stability. ■     closing down by telling about your future job
