I've always wanted to work. I have this sister who chose her profession early or so it seemed to me. We both had children around the same time; and yet she went to work in the medical field and I struggled to find out where my professional niche was.
Sometimes, when I look at the measures young people take to scramble ahead professionally, I see the tension between the re-entry person who has different experiences and the younger employee. The end result seems to hold even greater tension and I am not sure what it means. It is cranky and it is ragged. And I don't know if the tension is new because of the increased need for people to work throughtout their lives and the lousy economy or if it has been present across generations.
