No Job Too Low

This week the disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff started his new career upon leaving prison:  pizza boy.  Based on the lack of moral judgement and the illegal nature of his work ethics as a political big shot, I would say he deserves to be sweating it out tossing dough above a hot oven.

Then again, I can't image how he must feel.  How do you go from being a mover/shaker with a huge income and lot of political pull to a $10 an hour cook?   His new professional network probably consists of high school kids.  Can you image what it would be like to be 16 years old creating pies next to Abramoff?

I can't help but see his situation similar to the non-working mom.  You're an education woman who was at the height of your career (Jackie boy as a accomplished lobbyist) ... then you had your baby (Jack's poor ethical decision) ... then you decide to stay at home to raise your child (prison sentence for our "hero") and then you decide you want to re-enter the workforce (released from prison and trying to rebuild his life).  Certainly I am not saying that having a child is a prison sentence, but it is interesting that both individuals are looking at the same career opportunities, even though one focused on family and the other focused on fraud.
