I graduated from college in 2008. After relentlessly pursuing the “job of my dreams” and coming up empty, I decided to put my dreams on hold to join my parents’ recruiting and staffing company.

No, but they’re keeping it running for the time being: Allen is right, pse clerks work way harder, plus they work a hell of a lot more hours. Right now I’m on 33 days straight without a day off, before that it was 37 days without a day off, and the only reason I got a day off was because I called off!
