I haven't had to work on Thanksgiving or Christmas or Easter since I started
working in Corporate America. I did have to work Jan. 1, 2000, but that was
because of Y2K (the company I was working for at the time wanted to make
sure all the stuff they fixed really worked).
*Before* getting a corporate job (a "real" job, as my father calls it), I
worked *lots* of holidays. But there are people out there who can afford to
not work until they get their college degree, and go straight into Corporate
America and never work a holiday (at least not until they get into
middle/upper management...). I work with one now. His parent were very
well-off, and he never worked a day in his life until he got his current
corporate job. He probably doesn't have the ambition to make it into
management, so he may *never, ever* have to work a holiday.
I'm so jealous, I can't even put it into words.
