Work, Work, Work, Work !

"It's taking over our lives -- invading our homes,
haunting our holidays, showing up for dinner.
SHOULD WE CARE ?"


The article begins with a joke:

"Clinton created 8 million jobs, and I've got
three of them."  "With earning a living, taking
care of ourselves, keeping a home, and caregiving --
it's like trying to fit a size 12 life into a size 8 shoe."

Then the article makes two important points:

1.  "The distinction between work and leisure no
       longer exists."

2.  "Work is forcing us to constantly learn new
       ways of working."

The article closes with 6 survival tips:

1.  "LEARN WHILE YOU EARN -- take courses."

2.  "FLEX YOUR MUSCLES -- be willing to work
       different hours."

3.  "CAST A WIDE NET -- job hunt on the Internet."

4.  "BECOME AN MVP -- do something to become
       invaluable."

5.  "TEST THE WATERS -- test alternate careers
       by doing temp work."

6.  "BE A COMEBACK KID -- some companies have
       special continuing part-time employment programs
       for their retirees."
