Why work in the fields when you can have a nice easy job in an office?

When I was younger I worked for the phone company for dirrectory assitance. The company was Pacific Bell (then Southwest Bell and now it seems AT&T). My starting wages were $14/hour plus full benefits and all I needed to do was sit behind a desk, talk to people on the phone, and every now and then push a handful of buttons on a computer. A few years later I was making $70k a year at that same job. Why work in the fields doing real work when you can make $70k a year doing next to nothing?

Before the phone company I was working in fast food - for seven years!
