Jul. 8th, 2005 09:57 amQuite often, reading through the daily jobsearch adverts -- I visit about twenty sites a day, every day, trawling for new jobs -- I get discouraged that I took the wrong course of studies, or didn't intern when I should have because I was busy studying art or history on my breaks.
While looking for a certain quote this morning, I stumbled across another one that was quite heartening, and which I had all but forgotten. From Major Barbara, by Bernard Shaw, in which Undershaft and Cusins are arguing about Cusins' salary-to-be:
Undershaft. But, Mr Cusins, this is a serious matter of business. You are not bringing any capital into the concern.
Cusins. What! no capital! Is my mastery of Greek no capital? Is my access to the subtlest thought, the loftiest poetry yet attained by humanity, no capital? my character! my intellect! my life! my career! what Barbara calls my soul! are these no capital? Say another word; and I double my salary.
