Retirement: An Easy Sell
Daydreaming
All young children have dreams about what they want to be when they grow up, and I certainly had my share of those dreams. During those early years, I don’t recall having dreams of being a ballerina, but I did entertain wishes of becoming a teacher, which I’m very glad did not become a reality. I eventually entered the workforce via a part-time job working in a bookstore owned by a friend of my mom. I love to read, so this was a great job for me. My first full time job was working for the Southwest Daily Times (Liberal’s daily newspaper) doing advertising layouts. I can assure you that, during those years, I was not dreaming of working in the electrical distribution industry. I had no idea that industry even existed at that time.
