I like flying and do it a lot. I also think flight attendants have a difficult job and their resume should read “being nice to stupid people.” I wouldn’t want to be a flight attendant but one of my fantasy jobs would be getting people on board the aircraft. Once they’re on and settled in,…
I would say my favorite job was back in 1968 when I worked for Macy’s on 34th Street while going to college. I worked two nights a week and all day Saturday and netted about $22. I loved the job. I took orders on the phone. I loved the different forms — the order forms, the return forms,…
