The other day found us tootling along Derbyshire roads with
the top down on a lovely sunny day. Lovely for us but not necessarily for those
who had to work outside in the heat and the full glare of the sun.
We passed one of those temporary traffic control systems where
two guys have to hold up STOP GO boards. Both wore full hi-vis overalls so
it must have been a sweltering job. If that had been my job I’d have put a great deal of effort
into moving on. In fact I’d have put a great deal of effort into avoiding such
a job in the first place.
It’s an element of career ambition. Maybe it isn’t easy to
say how important it is generally but from my perspective it is very important. The notion of a
fulfilling career is probably a fantasy for most of us - avoiding the crap jobs
will generally do.
