Careers

"You know what I say about business?" Rose asked me over lunch. "Everybody is a consumer, but not everybody is a producer."

"Wow, that's pretty insightful," I said. "Did you just think of that yourself?"

"Yep," said Rosie. "I always try to look on the bright side."

"So what do you want to be when you grow up?" I asked.

"The direction I'm leaning in right now is trapeze artist," she said.

"But then you wouldn't be a producer," I said, "unless you consider that producing entertainment for others to consume is being a producer."

"No," she said thoughtfully. "I'm also leaning towards directing movies or stage plays, though."
