Corporate--salary, benefits, holidays/weekends off. THE place to spend 40 years until you do–commute, stress, politics. Still, my favorite considering prior jobs--camp counselor of 5-year olds, fast-food making me smell like fried chicken, retail working Black Friday even if you were dead. Fortunately, with education and luck, I entered Corporate America. Observations are general and not a knock on any of the wonderful companies who employed me. I appreciate the paycheck, 401k and free water.
