<< how do contractors enjoy their work? How does it compare with
corporate work?>>
<ask a dog how running in the woods compares to being led on a leash..
I did ask my mongrel collie, he just wagged his tail, go figure... but a
dog is supposed just to make his master happy and to obey wishes .(sorry
could not help it as a result of the PC amd master/slave furor)
Yet it seems to me that enjoying or suffering would depend mainly on the
kind of contractor (or dog) - is he/she/it a chihuaha or a saint
bernard?
Some of just love the contracting while others enjoy safe steady
corporate positions - at my age there is no black or white just shades
of grey.
