...to paraphrase Steinbeck...

..where to work for a comfortable living was an impossible dream, not a career opportunity chore.  ('Of Mice and Men' - possibly the best novel ever written  You've sure got the best - to my taste 20th C writers:  Steinbeck, Faulkner, Kesey, Heller, Miller)

Hi Cynth - glad to see you still around.  How ya doin'?
