"If you think you are too big for small jobs, maybe you are too small for big jobs"
The Ingalls family |
Apart from surviving in a sometimes hostile surrounding, finding a job was not then a big deal: people worked as farmers, as fishermen, as craftsmen, as woodworkers, as handymen, bankers, silversmiths, furniture makers, traders...
The probabilities of moving from one place to a distant one to find a new job offering greater possibilities for personal growth in a new attractive surrounding were limited, not always an easy decision, nor a feasible choice.
By then, in England, the butler and the housekeeper were common jobs, less glamourous than we want to believe after watching BBC series; the butler was the chief of servants in a household, while the housekeeper ran the house with the help of maids, cooks, gardeners... Many young people were moving from the countryside to the cities in search of a better future; some of them working in textiles, clothing, ... and leaving farming, mining, and other heavy activities behind.
At present, research and development, R&D, in various areas account largely for the continuous progress of mankind, internet being probably the most important breakthrough in our growth; and innovations in different areas are a challenge for today's man.
Thus, finding a good job nowadays is becoming a complex issue. After studying a significant number of years, you want a well-paid, comfortable, challenging job ... with modern (research) facilities in a healthy and friendly environment. In addition, globalization now permits mobility to work here and elsewhere and usually calls for a fairly good command of another language, mainly English.
