Student Counselor

I applied for a position at an upcoming college of design in Monrovia. It's less than 10 miles away, but the description is helping students map out their classes as they pursue design.

It may not be paying much, but by now, any income would be a contribution, so . . .

Noticed there are 8 alumni from my school on their faculty - so perhaps there is a pretty good chance?

Meantime, waiting to hear from one design group in Culver City.

Am also hoping to land the job that is less than a mile away. This would be the one I'm putting 5 stars on.

This is an aside, but can't help wondering why the job market insists on certain jobs requiring 2 skill sets. I mean, now it's hard to find a job that had definition 20+ yrs ago.

Example: to be a secretary meant doing everything your boss didn't need to be bothered with. Today, it's not enough to be a mere secretary. You have to have accounting skills - before they even sniff your resume.

Graphic design positions have become a duality. Not only do you have to know everything about printed matter, you must know how to make it move in dazzling ways.

The only multi-tasking I permit myself since I retired is eating and reading at the same time. My most significant skill sets are avoiding work and ceasing to work before it tires me. As for remuneration, I figure that I am paying myself with the benefits from 50 years of real work. It gives me incentive to live to a ripe old age.

Businesses want to get someone who can do three jobs for the price of one!! They also expect you to work 60 to 80 hours a week, as well. Ain't life grand?
