Subject: RE: BS: What you *were* going to do in life?....
In high school I decided I was going to work in a factory. My ambition was to be part of the 'salt of the earth', be a working man's hero. Upon graduating from secondary school I held various jobs such as putting flyers into the Toronto Star newspaper, worked on the floor in the garmet industry, stacked skids of various products, worked in a bicycle   warehouse (which imported bikes from France). I really liked that one since cycling at the time was my fav past time. After about 4 years of that I went on to the big school of higher learning. Majored in Business Admin. I thought (then) I could make a change by getting into the managment thing. Somewhere things sorted drifted into survival mode (had a family to provide for, that kind of stuff). Actually I have done pretty good without selling out, never lost my respect for the 'working man'.
