The Drawing Board
August 13, 2007 by barbararuth
I’m back in the corporate world for a stint. Happily, I will be working under some of my ideal conditions: from home, over email; interfacing primarily with a single person, who himself is a member of a small team; writing material for an educated business audience — marketing stuff, but at a level I can dive into intellectually.
I dream of a “breakthrough,” a point at which I have a solid, marketable occupational identity. What that would mean is not that at any givenĀ timeĀ I could predict the next project but that I was free from ever having to consider taking on a generic office job for a low-but-regular salary.
