Mr. Derb: That Kiplinger guy said he excluded jobs that were not “socially redeeming” — “There may be jobs, for example, as casino managers and tobacco executives, but such occupations were immediately excluded from consideration.”
In my view, government flunky, madrassa manager (a/k/a “higher education administrator”), Outsourcing Facilitator (a/k/a “Corporate Executive Specializing in Global Business Development or Managing Global Workforces”), and Third World Invasion Facilitator (a/k/a “Immigration Expert”) are far from socially redeeming. Indeed, these are the sources of all our problems, not the solutions to them.

[Me] Very well said, Sir, and no disagreement from me. By comparison with the average federal or academic bureaucrat, tobacco executives, and casino managers are benefactors of humanity.
