Cool Careers
My roommate doesn’t get mentioned here very often (just in case he ever stumbles across it), but this isn’t really about him.
When I got home, he was reading a book called Cool Careers for Dummies. He’s not, of course, any kind of dummy, so I can understand why he’s trying to avoid staying a salesman for the rest of his life. I was disappointed by the picture on the front of the book: I’d have expected something like people climbing into cars on a safety test line, or standing in clothing-shop windows at the least… Or maybe those grace the cover of Classic Careers for Dummies.
