Career Alternatives/Dear Headhunters

WHEN EAST MEETS WEST

COMMENTARY BY HANK F. MILLER JR.

To: Headhunters R Us.

Subject: Career alternatives,Have skills, might want to work.

Dear Headhunters:

Since you contacted me,I have been doing some serious thinking
about what I would like to do if I didn\’t do what I do now.
Right off,I\’d have to say that I could be anything I wanted,my first
choice would be poet laureate.This has been my dream job ever since I
first heard the words \”roses are red,violets are blue.\”

You can ask people who know me,and they\’ll tell you I\’m really good at
rhyming stuff.You know,like somebody will say something like car,and
right away I\’ll come back with bar.
Or we\’ll be in a market, and the word orange will be mentioned, and
I\’ll say…well, you get the picture.

If all the poet laureate jobs are taken,another thing I wouldn\’t mind
being a mentor.I could get an office downtown, and people could come in
to see me,and I would tell them what\’s wrong with them and what they
should do with their lives.
Maybe I could even work with my wife,who\’s really,really good at
this.But just in case there are no openinge in mentoring or poet
laueateing,I have put together a wish list of additional jobs I
wouldn\’t mind trying.

In order,they are:

.Sidekick.
.Friend of the Court.
.Major Player.
.Senior Fellow.
.Orical.
.Professor Emeritus.
.Favorite Son.
.Patron of the Arts.
. Matinee Idol.
.Confidant.
.Raconteur.
.Go-Between.

I really have to admit that the one thing you were right about is that
being a teacher does give you the skills to work in other
occupations.In fact,once I started thinking about it, I was really
surprised by how many other fields are open to someone like me.

I mean there\’s.

.Pundent.
.Shadowowy Figure.
.Spokesperson.
.Assassin.
.Wretch.
.Material Witness.
.Moral Authority.
.Insider. Analyst.
.Sycophant.
.Face in the Crowd.
.Informed Source.
.Special Interest.
.Operative.
.Crowd Pleaser.

(Just ask me about one).

Of course,in preparing these lists,I did come across several jobs that
I\’m certainly qualified for but that just hold no appeal for me.

They include:

.Gluton for Punishment.
.Player to be named.
.Gofer.
.Poop-Bah.
.Rubber.Stamp.
.Hostage.

Oh,and definitely put me down as a no for anything in the area of
Whipping Boy or Sacrificial Lamb. Granted,the money and bennies are
goods and everything ,but there just doesn\’t seem to be much of an
upside to this kind of work.

Warm Regards From Kitakyushu City ,Japan
