Help Wanted
Pathfinder Parent posted a vacancy titled “Help Wanted” on its website. I would think that no one would be interested in it or apply for such a demanding job without any wages and compensation at all. Would you agree with me? Have a look at the following excerpt:
JOB DESCRIPTION: Long term team players needed for challenging permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work various hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call…..
RESPONSIBILITIES: This is for the rest of your life. Must be willing to be hated at least temporarily, until someone needs $5 to go skating….
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: None required, unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.
WAGES AND COMPENSATION: You pay them, offering frequent raises and bonuses…
Oops, I was wrong. In fact, a lot of people have taken on the job – parenting. And many of them have been doing great. Parenting is a high calling career indeed. Have you ever thought that you, as a parent, could have achieved so much in your endeavors?
