summer job
by Carolinethe summer after his first year of college, my dad worked as a bricklayer. once he saw the most beautiful, popular girl from his high school class walk by while his white-trash coworkers blared country music and wolf-whistled at her. our society has turned against jobs that use the body instead of the high intellect, when a union plumber probably makes more than the average college professor. it’s never seemed fair that the people doing the grossest jobs — janitors, exterminators — make less money than everyone else. physical labor clears the mind and shapes the body, could be worse.
