THE FRIDAY FIVE.
External link:
In keeping with the suggestion I received to answer more party-game type questions in my Blog, here's "The Friday Five".
1. What is your current occupation? Is this what you chose to be doing at this point in your life? Why or why not?
I co-founded Charge.Com with my brother, and we run it together. This is what I chose for myself, and I decided to create this, instead of pursuing a law career (I am a lawyer with a degree from Duke Law).
2. If time/talent/money were no object, what would your dream occupation be?
I hate to say it, but I dream of not working, and just traveling the world. I always used to want to go into politics, but lately I don't think it would be worth the loss of privacy. So, I think that if I have to work at all, then my dream job is the job that I have now.
3. What did/do your parents do for a living? Has this had any influence on your career choices?
My parents are retired, but they also started their own business, a very successful mail order company called NSMI. I have no doubt that their success inspired my brother and me to start our own business.
4. Have you ever had to choose between having a career and having a family?
I have not, and I'm grateful that I have a job that will not make me ever face that kind of choice.
5. In your opinion, what is the easiest job in the world? What is the hardest? Why?
Lately, I'm thinking the easiest job in the world is President of the US. I want to take a month off and relax on a ranch! It's like Will Rogers said: "My mother always told me that anybody could grow up to become President, and lately I'm beginning to believe it." I think my friend Jessica J. might have the hardest job in the world. She's a genetic counselor, and she has to tell people that their fetus (or occasionally their child) has a terrible, incurable genetic disorder.
