QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON JOBS
The tougher the job, the greater the reward.
George Allen (1952-, American football coach)
If you're not a white male, consider sales seriously. Most employers, regardless of how sexist or racist they may be, will pay for any sales they can get.

Ramona E.F. Arnett (American business executive)
Our job is not to set things right but to see them right.
