re: Misunderstood careers: who knew?!

I saw an ad in the newspaper long ago stating that a large percentage of women wear bras that don't fit correctly, and that one of the mall stores (Macy's or Dillards?) was having an expert bra fitter event at the store to assist women in determining their proper size and fit. If only my high school guidance counselor had mentioned that I would have known my calling in life. Who cares what it pays?

My wife (no pics) worked as an assistant manager at Victoria's Secret for a spell before we had children. She carried a tape measure with her and helped fit OT 10s with the perfect bra, every day. She was required to wear make-up and look her best for every shift. She was put in charge of recruiting new employees and was told to hire women who look like they wear the product. I once was able to venture with her into the warehouse, where I found myself surrounded by beautiful women having fun with skimpy underwear. It was like something out of a David Lee Roth video for a guy like me who'd not had much luck with the ladies in high school. Good times.
