Barbara - I understand your comments. I too have found it dificult to keep a sustained interest in working (not living) the corporate world. I must say my successes there have never required a sacrifice of my morals. I understand that some people do sacrifce those morals and still advance. My arguement is; this is a fact of life, not a fact of corporate life.I face the fact that I am often an outsider in the corporate world, that I am an anomoly, but I have enjoyed my time there, for the most part, and have moved on when I didn't. It seems to me that world and the peole in it, is just like the worlds where I worked as a truck driver and bakchoe operator, and as a farm hand, and as a musician. People are people. You will find jewells in all locations!
