Moving to the next chapter while keeping it dapper
March 22nd 2008 03:28
There are times in life when we find ourselves over dressed for the occasion. At other times we are under dressed. At the best of times we find ourselves well-fitted for the occasion, although it is better to be safe than sorry and over dress just in case everyone else is too.
The finance world is one of those places where its best to over dress. Although one may find such a career too much capitalism for one lifetime and move to different avenues, such as community work.
The question one might ask in this situation is - can I still be dapper?
One way to answer this question would be no. You shouldn't really be wearing a power suit to a counselling session with a 15 year old, neither does it suit for the alcoholic arts teacher who just got a court order to either go to rehab or jail.
But there is another side to the equation.
Moving from the finance world to the Community Services sector means you've got a niche market to attend to. This market involves, in the big picture, helping the community work sector survive in a capitalist society.
There are plenty of volunteers in the community work sector, which leads directly from there not being much money in the area. It used to be the same in the nursing sector, where a few decades ago the industry survived off the back of volunteers doing all the dirty work.
They were thought of as caring people who did it "for the love of it."
Such is the case today in the Community Services sector.
So put on your dapper suit and shiny shoes, get involved and help us find a way to get these volunteers paid! After all, we're supposed to be helping people to be financially independent - we shouldn't have to be going through the same problem as our clients (under the exemption of being empathic).
The future is nigh - just make sure you can afford the dry cleaning bill.
