A plant serviceman, cleans, trims, prunes, waters and exchanges rented plants. I'm dusting a fiddle-leaf fig plant at the Trans-America building observation floor. I'm totally content with what I'm doing now.

I gross over $200,000 a year as the owner-manager of a donut store, but there’s a price to pay. I come to work at 2:00 A.M. to begin the daily routine of making 250 dozen donuts. I eat dinner at 4:00 in the afternoon and am in bed by 7:30. I was a Depression baby. Now kids say there has to be something better. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California
