As I See It: The Next Job Wave
by Victor Rozek

There are always jobs available to people who don't care how they earn their money or what kind of world they are laboring to fashion. Pimps do OK, so do sweat shop owners, so do arms dealers. Conscience alone is an unreliable brake on the economic engine. So when George Carlin says it's about what you'll do for a dollar, and what you'll do with a dollar, he means that we make economic choices and that those choices have consequences.
