I remember not very long ago an archaeologist was asking for help in finding
a job in Hawaii because his wife had been offered a great position there and
their decision to relocate was probably dependent on his finding employment.
I do not recall anyone roasting him. How come. Are his concerns and
aspirations more important than a novice professional?
Curious.
