Antick Musing's Fridays, Black and Otherwise

[...] [M]odern Westerners can be separated by the work they did when they were young and unskilled. One great mass worked in retail, selling goods of one kind or another. A second cohort worked in food service, waiting tables or working a grill. And the third group, seemingly the luck ones, were those rich or privileged enough not to have to work at all -- the ones who were children, then entirely students, and then set off on their careers, without ever having had "just a job."

The group of entry-level IT/data entry peons, IME, is not trivial, and does not really fit into any of those categories.

Ditto customer service.
