Work at Home

For over thirty years, I’ve climbed out of bed every weekday morning and stumbled off to work. I don’t mind the work. I mind the hours. I’m one of those people who is naturally nocturnal. I may get up at 7:00 AM, but my brain doesn’t get up until 4:00 PM. The people around me may start looking at the clock at the same time that I really start working. By 5:00 PM, I’m a one-man dynamo.

What I’ve needed all those years was a job that starts when my brain starts. I needed a job that let me work at home. Other people will have their own reasons for wanting to work at a time and pace that best suits their lives. But regardless of the reason, all those people can take advantage of the work opportunities at WhyDoWork.com.

The World Wide Web is laced with crackpot work-at-home schemes that promise you everything and deliver nothing. WhyDoWork.com helps its members separate the scams from the real jobs that you can do at home. Some members may choose to do part-time work, while others may wish to devise full-time home employment.

I’m about ready to start my second career. This time I think I’ll do it at home.

Harvest of Shame, Part 2

CBS reporters followed the path of migrant farm workers as they harvested the crops from Florida to New Jersey. Interviewers and the cameras that filmed them revealed desperate workers trapped in a system that provided the only work they knew how to do.

After letting workers describe their long hours, low pay, filthy living quarters, poor food, and transportation that was worse than that provided for animals, the interviewers repeatedly asked the workers if they thought they would ever escape from the work they had chosen. The answer repeatedly given was “I don’t see how.”

Harvest of Shame was broadcast right before Thanksgiving, a holiday on which Americans have traditionally enjoyed the blessings of a bountiful harvest. The CBS documentary forced Americans to change their conceptions of how that bountiful harvest reached their dining tables.

Harvest of Shame changed the way Americans saw themselves as it also changed the nature of American documentary films.
